Well, I think people don´t understand what breaking a record is. Nobody had done this in the last 30 years, since whitney (female debuting at #1 and spending 7 consecutive weeks at the top). But TGJ: she has not broken that Whitney record (still) since Whitney stayed 11 weeks (consecutive) right after debuting at #1. So she HAS NOT BROKEN the record.

That Whitney Houston record is beyond words by the way. With that second album of hers she was THE FIRST FEMALE in music history to DEBUT at #1 on the Billboard 200. Not even a white woman or anything (not even Barbra, or Madonna). No woman before her. What I didn´t know is that she stayed there 11 consecutive WEEKS right after the debut. Which is all kinds of incredible. So no woman had ever done that and she goes and does it and stays there for a record breaking 11 first weeks, a record still not broken 30 years later??? A motherfucking legendary queen. Not to mention there was real HUGE competition 30 years ago. While now it´s only Adele doing it.

That said great for Adele, what she has done these last 5 years is amazing. Nobody thought we would ever see this again. I would have prefered to see it happening to an even more gifted artist (musically) than her. But it´s ok.
