’21’ Again ; Adele Holds #1 Spot On UK Chart

Published: Sunday 24th Jul 2011 by David

Adele.

Who would have thought that the girl who started out ‘Chasing Pavements’ would go onto chase even the most talented of her competitors away from the coveted top spot for so long.

You guessed it. Her sophomore album ‘21′ is #1 again in the UK.

Find out more below…

Now in its 18th non consecutive week at #1, the release is the highest selling LP in the UK this week even without the aid of a single promotional push.

Below her at #2 is Beyonce‘s ‘4′ whose second single ‘Best Thing I Never Had‘ is this weeks UK #4 single.

One spot below ‘4’ is Adele’s ‘19′ which has enjoyed an enormous sales increase across the globe since the release of ’21’ and even outsold Lady GaGa‘s ‘Born This Way’which  this week sits comfortably at #5.

Rihanna‘s ‘Loud‘ is this weeks #7 and Jessie J‘s ‘Who You Are’ climbs two chart positions up to #11 after spending last week at #13.

Meanwhile, Chris Brown‘s ‘FAME’ has skipped four places up from its #18 spot to take the position of #14 whilst GaGa’s ‘The Fame’ continues to enjoy the success of ‘Born This Way’, now sat #15 after making its debut on the chart 132 weeks ago.

Katy Perry‘s ‘Teenage Dream‘  is now the 19th highest selling album of the week and fans of the late Amy Winehouse will be pleased to know her classic release ‘Back To Black’ has made its way to #59 and is expected to climb further up the chart in coming weeks.

    Well done all!

  7. JohnVidal July 24, 2011

    F*** it! At this rate she is going to still be #1 by the final weeks of the year… LOL So happy she slayed this way. But I would love to see some other true talent at the top too. I mean, I see no possible new competitors (with talent) for her in the coming months. gaga did her job but it´s noy enough
    PS: why the hell did the uk liked Loud that much??? I mean, she is a person without talent, no matter if the album was catchy or fun. I can´t see why she is top 10 after so many months over there

  8. sean July 24, 2011

    @johnvidal..agreed

    i get it she can sing good. her album is miserable i’m surprised people haven’t killed themselves over it. anyway with nothing good on the market i suppose people just have to buy the stuff that’s already out.. ermm why is the fame still in the charts do people have no sense over 2 years ago it was out and it’s in the top 20?????????? i mean i like gaga and the albums but come on is that really necessary to have a 2 year old album as one of the highest sellers in mid 2011? get a grip and move on to something else

  14. Nana Applehead (Nana Yaw) July 24, 2011

  19. Antonio July 24, 2011

    21 has had to cross 8 million in WW sales by now. I am totally shocked The Fame is still in top 20 after nearly 3 years of release, now that’s a bad b****. I wouldn’t be surprised if The Fame reaches 15 million in WW album sales within the next year. 21 will definitely peak at around 12.5 million in WW sales

  20. that s*** July 24, 2011

    alll people reho f*** jayz kanye justin temberlake drake the devel and more

  21. pop royalty (I’m a rude Boy) July 24, 2011

    i’m impressed adele ! really impressed !!!

  22. Antonio July 24, 2011

    But Rihanna being in the Top 10 after 8 months is also impressive as F*** too. I believe Loud has sold over 1.5 million in the UK which is 5x Platinum

  23. Queen Beyonce Stann July 24, 2011

    Who’s Chin, Adele’s?

  24. LACEFRONCE. 4CLOSURE WAS BORN TO FLOP. July 24, 2011

    This big h** is slaying! But it will only be temporary. Much like Susan Boyle, she will fade from the spotlight. Even the ugly and the obese must have their time to shine. Susan Boyle was the ugly…Adele is the obese.

  25. Queen Beyonce Stann July 24, 2011

    Wow No Shade @ Rihanna Today TGJ?

  27. BrealK July 24, 2011

    @ Antonio

    I’m confused, didn”t FAME drop in March 2011? Making it four months old. Grafitti is the old one. Or do I have it switched around ?

  28. BrealK July 24, 2011

    @ Antonio

    My bad!!! You were talking about GAGA.

    “Meanwhile, Chris Brown’s ‘FAME’ has skipped four places up from its #18 spot to take the position of #14” <—— YEAH 3X KID! Here's hoping it continues to rise!

    Happy for Adele but Amy will always be my #1!

    #THE BEST!!!POINT BLANK PERIOD!!!!

    You don’t hear about Lady GaGa,Beyonce,or Rihanna’s album doing anything like this.Adele is the truth.She should be getting even more attention than what she is already getting.I hope she wins all of the awards she is nominated for at the VMAs this year.She truly deserves it.I hope she wins her 2012 Grammy Nominations in February.

    #TEAM ADELE

  32. S*** July 24, 2011

    so TGJ is officially done with Rihanna shading? No shade in all the Rihanna posts I saw today….anyway YES BEYONCE! AND I SEE YOU BREEZY!
    S/N: I think its hypocritical how everyone was dissing Amy Winehouse and nobody cared about her album but now that she died everyone becomes fake and started buying her album and saying nice things….SHOUT OUT TO HER REAL FANS!!! SM

  35. King B July 24, 2011

    Girl, please give up smoking so you can stick around past the age of 30.

    @ YeaBey:

    Much like how people are shitting on Adele right now with their fat jokes but if she were to die, then it’d be “OMG, we lost the talent of our generation!”

    People are too fake for me.

  36. Those That Cannot Do, Stan July 24, 2011

    #1 in UK.

    2 Albums on UK Top Ten.

    #2 on ITunes (Behind Amy Winehouse)

    2 Albums on Itunes Top 10.

    #3 on Billboards for 21

    #4 on Billboards for Rolling In The Deep.

    Adele stay killing em!

    P**** poppers and gimmick riders gotta work harder!

  37. Those That Cannot Do, Stan July 24, 2011

    Honestly people mocking Adele’s weight are kind of stupid. It’s honestly one of the easiest things to aim for and the fact they have NO other insult shows she’s living her life right. And yes if she dropped tomm. all those insulting would be bawling tears and apologizing.

    Lame asses.

  38. Frieda July 24, 2011

    This b**** Adelle wont give Bey her wig back lmfao, the theifHive will deal. Yaaaasssss

  39. YEABEY Likes to Party! July 24, 2011

    @KING B
    EXACTLY!

  40. YEABEY Likes to Party! July 24, 2011

    Oh and When i find out Adele was in her 20’s ….all jokes aside…. i laughed…she looks like 40…cigarettes are NOT for her…or for anyone at that matter….it makes her look old and very soon she might lose her voice …or worse…..die of cancer…

  41. Frieda July 24, 2011

    YeaBey, u dumb smut! Why would u say that Adelle was gonna die? U gargle about 65 d**** a day and you’re still alive.

  42. YEABEY Likes to Party! July 24, 2011

    @FRIEDA
    KISS MY ASS I SAID IF SHE KEEPS SMOKING SHE MIGHT DIE OF CANCER…..AM I LYING? DONT PEOPLE WHO SMOKE ALOT DIE OF CANCER? ALL IM SAYING IS IT WOULD BE TRAGIC TO LOSE ANOTHER SINGER TO DRUGS!

    NOW BE SEATED AND SULK AT THE FACT THAT YOU CANT READ PROPERLY!!!

  43. HEAVYMETALLOVER July 24, 2011

    can someone say to all the moms to stop buying Adeles album. It’s become ridiculus now. Even for Adele, let the girl the possibiity to top herself in the future: she’s only 23.

  44. YOUR Queen! July 24, 2011

    I’m SO over that album, like really who’s still buying it? Congrats…I guess.

  45. O s c a r July 24, 2011

    ———-
    PREACH!

    This “Fat” jokes aren’t even the lowest form of comical. They are f****** disrespectful. On a blog or not. A certain group of stans seems to intend to keep it going though…. SMH.

  46. O s c a r July 24, 2011

    @Frieda don’t mind that c***. Another day, another ignorant Bey Stan… SMH. What ever happen to Beyoncè and her stans being the classy ones? LMFAO. Go to hell.

  47. YEABEY Likes to Party! July 24, 2011

    *dead* at people getting mad because I said if Adele doesnt stop smoking cigarettes she might lose her voice and develop cancer….Even the box of cigarettes she smokes everyday says that…Y’all wanna go get mad at the cigarettes too…?? LMFAO!! dummies!!

  48. Frieda July 24, 2011

    @Oscar, thanks. Animals like YeaBey should be detected and eliminated during conception.
    Bey’s stans are such smut.

    @YeaBey, drown yourself.

  49. YeaBey July 25, 2011

    @FRIEDA
    no seriously for Real…. You can’t read ?? You don’t know me so you do not deserve an explanation… You will continue to kiss me and bey’s ass.. Carry on now… LMFAO non reading fools!

  50. Frieda July 25, 2011

    YeaBey… Did u mean, kiss ur b*** pads?

  51. nice_gurl July 25, 2011

    I can’t believe she keeps on being #1 every week. Who’s still buying the album? Anways congrats to her, Bey and Gaga. And stop with the fat jokes and stuff….it’s insulting and not necessary, cause it has nothing to do with the talent that she has.

  52. RihannaNAVY July 25, 2011

    LMAO

    LOUD is just too good to go down.
    Cheers is gonna keep it on the top10 this end of summer.
    And then her sold out UK tour is gonna put her back in the top 5.

    I am calling 2Million sold in the UK right now.

    Be ready to see Queen Rihanna hit 7* platinum.
