Much like every week since January 2011, this one has given Adele much to smile about.
For, after watching her latest LP go 9X Platinum last week, this week has seen the LP top the UK Album’s Chart, for the 24th time.
Details below…
Snatching the top spot away from Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘ (#3), ‘21′ has now matched a record held by Bob Dylan, for spending the same number of weeks at #1.
In at #4 is Lana Del Rey with ‘Born To Die’, and closing up with the Top 5 is Jessie J’s debut effort ‘Who You Are’, enjoying a sales boost as a result of ‘The Voice UK‘, in which she stars in alongside Will.I.Am and Tom Jones.
At #6 is Emeli Sande‘s ‘Our Version Of Events‘ while Madonna’s ‘MDNA’ holds court at #13 for a second week. Rihanna‘s ‘Talk That Talk’ resides at #28 while her 2010 effort ‘Loud’ is #48, dropping two spots since last week and 51 one places above Beyonce‘s award winning ‘4′.
On a singles front, major congratulations go to our friend Conor Maynard. His new single ‘Can’t Say No’ debuted at #2, following his set on That Grape Juice’s ‘The Splash’.
LOL @Nicki Garbaj FLOPPING as the GREAT LACEFRONCE predicted 🙂
OBESEdele better enjoy the success while she can, after this album, no one will care about her..like Susan Boyle
BTW, 21 is GROSSLY overrated 😕
All this fat b**** sings about the entire album is how someone dumped her
Learn to be diverse like Rihanna!
Bwahahaha “Beyonce’s award winning 4” Goodnight! Is Loud really one spot ahead of 4. Didn’t Loud come out six months before that album?! Anyhow, Adele’s sales are crazy. Madonna’s sales are hilarious and Rih is still holding on with two albums. Good for her.
4 is flopping that much?you couldnt even say the spot 😕 😆
Sony has a new Cash cow,go adele ..you are blessed right now
Nicki promotion had no impact in the UK or what? let wait for the numbers 😕
WTF
Something is mysteriously corrupt about that old ass cd
@THE GREAT LACEFRONCE
B**** NIGETTE, PLEASE.
RIHANNA’S SO-CALLED “DIVERSITY” HAS YET TO SEE HER SCORE A #1 ALBUM IN THE U.S.A. LOL. IF THAT WAS THE CASE, SHE’D HAVE THE VERSATILE FAN-BASE EVER.
#BYE-BOO
ANYWAY, YES “QUEEN ADELE” FOR MATCHING THE LEGENDARY BOB DYLAN. ONLY LEGENDS CAN DO THAT!!! 😉 😉 😉
No honey, LOUD is 51 Spaces above 4. 4 is Number 99 on the charts! BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can’t wait to see what the Official sales are it was at 4,264,000 last week and will probably be 16x platinum by summer
Really? What’s new?…..
LMFAO @ THAT GRAPE JUICE ASSUMING THAT THE REASON CONOR MAYNARD’S SINGLE DEBUTED AT #2 WAS BECAUSE OF THEM!!!
LMFAO!!!
B******, HAVE A MUTHA******* SEAT!!!
“No honey, LOUD is 51 Spaces above 4. 4 is Number 99 on the charts! BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Awww s*** that album is officially DOA!! Can the hive please explain that one?
@TRUTH I’m with you! Something seriously is going on. … serious!
Oh, and Connor Maynard at number 2! I just need to roll my eyes and then cut them
Now we know who is going to win the Billboard award
Whites taking back the charts that’s what going on. lol
@cathy
I have to agree with you, I guess the mainstream audience are tired of some of thses artist showing out in the public eye and think it’s cute.They think no one can touch them but look above Bammmmmmmmmmm. Nicki hears voices & shut down her twitter & the weed smoking by Rihanna I mean come on.

Y’all acting like Conor Maynard debuted at #2 because of his set on the splash lmao! -_-
Congrats to Adele….I guess. I’m pretty sure everyone in the Uk owns that album already.
“Award winning 4” though? Lol I can’t with this post.
Is this news anymore? Like seriously who is still buying this album
are pepole still buying her album? i mean come on her album is fantastic and s*** but pepole are just crazy about this b****!! they buying her album like a million times and they just dont realize that they are stucking millions in her british ass. i dont think that b**** will be releasing a new album soon, she will be too b**** swimming in her gold pool in her british mansion, maybe she will release a new albu, sometimes in 2067.. 2070 at least.. oh and she will be relesing like 5 in five years and film two s*****,boring and pointless mv’s like she always does..
but im totally in love with her album thogh…
oh p*** of beyonce has got 1mill plus sells of 4 without a hit single rihanna has only just hit 800,000 sells with a hit single rihanna’s music is p*** beyonce’s music is classic and amazing who rins the world…. B!!
I really don’t get this adele thing. The album is good but I won’t buy it sorry. People are buying it over and over just cause she’s white.
@ Andre…. B**** SIT YOUR CORNY ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE WITH THAT B*******!!! THE ONLY ONE RUNNING S*** AROUND THE WORLD IS ADELE!!! YOU WILL DEAL LOSER!!!!
Damnn, Adele is winning like s***. And why does everybody dislike her and bey?? Why you mad?? How about you get on top of your s*** then you can be make money like them too.
I’ve seen this numerous times before with Boyz II Men, Hootie and the Blowfish, Alanis Morisette, Backstreet Boys, Norah Jones, etc., etc. The list goes on. Those huge album phenomenons that looms a large shadow over the entire industry and everyone from teens to grandmothers are buying it because the media is hyping it like it’s the Bible.
Too much success, too soon is almost never good in the long run. Red hot has a habit of turning to stone cold. It would have been better for her career if 21 had peaked at 6x platinum and quietly faded away. No one can top or even maintain that kind of momentum for longer than a single album. There’s no where else for her to go after this but down. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
I can’t. Trying to shove BeYAWnce’s name in everything
@she better enjoy it
“it wouldve been better if she was 6x platinum instead of 9x platinum”
what on earth are you talking about? adele is obviously not a media w**** like katy perry rihanna. she said herself her next album is coming in a few years. shes not one of these “strike while the iron is hot” h***. it doesnt matter if her next cd flops because she has already broken so many records and will be rememberd in 20 years.
Duh we all knew this was going to happen because not alot of people are making great albums anymore just autotune crap. Adele would not last in the 80s and 90s when it was so many great album coming out back to back unlike today its mostly trash just for fast money.
Welll done Adele! she deserves all the good things that are happening for her!
& yall please follow me now: http://twitter.com/shynlownoam
@JER
lol i was about to say it’s been a while since u called Bey out of her name, i was even beginning to think perhaps your feelings towards her have softened oop
QUEEN ADELE BITCHEESSS!!!! show them untalented american, constantly half naked h*** how to do it!! you rock!!
She only sold 44 more copies than the number 2 album! This album just wont let up:)
Of course Nicki Minaj’s album was knocked down two spots on the charts. The album Is s*****. The jig is up Boo Boo.
LOL @ “THE AWARD WINNING 4”
WHAT AWARD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Congratz adele.!!! she looks like Ms. Spears on the pic…

____________
She does?…hell I can’t tell..
I thought everyone in the UK owned 21 already? Dang, mad props to Adele, slaying all…
em Bey has a won a t*** choice, VMA, AMA, soul train award this era so maybe u missed plenty
Oh THOSE awards………*crickets*
Much as I think Adele has done fantastically well with her albums, 21 has been out for over a year now so who the f*** is still buying it in such big numbers? Yes, any decent album will continue to have moderate sales for a considerable time but she has been in the top 5 almost consistently (she has slipped out occasionally) for over a year now. I think she is talented but am really getting sick of hearing about her now, and if I hear Someone Like You again I am going to throw something at my TV (something soft as my husband would go ballistic, lol, its his baby like the computer is mine).
Where’s XYZ? I thought Nicki Minaj was running the industry? *blank stare*
VMA,AMA,SOUL TRAIN ETC AWARDS HONEY
BEY 5 1s for 48 WEEKS
R****** 11 1s for 44 WEEKS
BEY 4/4 1 ALBUMS
R****** 0/6 1 ALBUM
BEY 4 ALBUMS=29MILLIOM
R****** 6 ALBUMS=26MILLION
OK WHO THE F*** IS THE FLOP NOW??
I just want someone to explain why Loud is outselling.4.
ilove inlovewithbey..tell them Rihstans..that h** had so much promotion n other stuff going for her and still cant manage a #1 album..singles dont mean jack shish..your quality of work do..number 1 albums shows how good you are..no. 1 singles dont… so try again..n lets see her win as many grammys as adele and beyonce without collabing with rappers to get one
