Prior to this week, Taylor Swift was the only artist this century with the distinct honor of seeing two of her albums top the Billboard 200 for at least 10 weeks or more. Now, thanks to sales spilling over from award and talk show appearances, she’s joined by another mega-selling diva: Adele.
Fending off the likes of Justin Bieber and Rihanna for yet another week, Addy adds a 10th week to the chart reign of her latest album ’25.’ But, if this isn’t enough for the powerhouse diva to celebrate, its predecessor ’21’ (which enjoyed a whopping 24 weeks at the top during its prime) is back on the ascent!
See where it, and all your other favorite albums of the day, landed on this week’s Billboard 200:
Adele’s 25 rules the Billboard 200 albums chart for a tenth nonconsecutive week, as it earned another 100,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Feb. 25, according to Nielsen Music. In terms of pure album sales, it sold 81,000 (down 35 percent).
25 is just the fifth album released since 2000 to achieve 10 weeks at No. 1. It follows Taylor Swift’s 1989 (released in 2014, 11 weeks at No. 1), the Frozen soundtrack (2013, 13 weeks), Adele’s 21 (2011, 24 weeks) and Swift’s Fearless (2008, 11 weeks).
Rihanna’s former No.1, Anti, climbs 3-2 with 80,000 units (up 1 percent) while Justin Bieber’s Purpose dips 2-3 with 63,000 units (down 25 percent).
Tidbit: Nice to see 10 of the top 20 are Urban releases!
I’m sorry I have YET to hear Adele’s album. Way too busy listening to SNUBBED black soul singers albums such as Jazmine Sullivan(“Reality Show”) and more. Congratulations are in order!
Snubbed? Get back to me when they can sing half as well as Adele. #DELUSIONAL
Congrats Adele! Damn 81k SOLD months after its release! Bish i can’t!
When will formation sis? Is it triple plastic yet
This!!!!!! I AM SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When will Anti….
The Navy stay stupid! Formation is song not an Album. ?
Dont play games SAM!!!! POST RIHSCEDULEANNAS REAL #s!!! She sold wayyy less than justin beiber in pure album sales US. http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm [ANTI: 1 month total 450+k] [4 1st week total: 500k after 3 wk leak]
Anti is #2? Nice. Oh and Work is #1 for the second week and is still #1 on iTunes.
Did Formation Chart??????????????
Bubbling under at #8. Rihanna’s Desperado is beating it at #7. I can’t!
SCREAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who?
Why do people keep bringing up iTunes like it matters or something? Only the official Billboard Charts matter everything else – iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, etc – is just filler.
Meanwhile…
“WORK” spends a second week at #1 on the Hot 100 brought on by:
1) 45+ Million streams the past week.
2) 100 Million radio audience impressions in the past week which has catapulted it into the Top 5 of the radio songs chart.
3) A third week at #1 on the Digital songs charts (it’s now back at #1 on ITunes).
.
‘ANTI’ is holding firm in the BB200 Top 3 which is great.
.
Now, as Rihanna continues to slay, I can’t wait for Mother Bey. to deliver. 😉
And I have yet to hear the song. The Navy must have their computers, phones, tablets all on Youtube and spotify streaming 24/7.
Definitely. You can tell Work is not a real hit. It is manufactured. They were desperate to do it this era or else absolutely everything about it would have been a disaster. Although in true Rihanna fashion, she releases 4 songs in a year usually so making one get to #1 when it is ready for nowadays fast food music populated radio is the way she usually makes her albums have legs. She´s nothing without a single on radio. As proved for an entire year and her previous 3 attempts at singles for this album.
Hi Navy!!! I Am Back To F^ck These Roaches Heads Up Again. Not Rihanna Still In The Top 5. When Will Fornication By Beyblade??? SCREEEAAAMMMSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FÙCK IT UP JUSTINE!! KIII
Poor frih… WORK went #1 only to increase sales by only 1%` . Why post adeles pure sales & not rihfunds? Probably selling under ,50k already. Rih has only 2 more months leftto go GOLD b4 REFORMATION Drops. Time to release Kis sit better ASAP!
Get it RiRi.Anti#2 and Work#1..Alrighty then.?
ROYALTY (162k first week) >>>> the ANTI MIXTAPE (124k first WEAK). #THESTRUGGLE… ITS REAL THIS EVENING.
Go take your insulin. You’re delusional and reaching.
Can u do a post on Anti’s numbers?
Has it sold 500K in world wide sales yet??? lol
No not yet… but it will hit the 500k mark next week. Its getting there though kiii but that 1 million mark tho. Lets just say my crystal ball is down at the moment.
Like flop! Flop! Flop!
It’s a good thing Samsung PURCHASED that platinum plaque for her.
ALLLLL THE 263664 #1s in the world yet this (less than 50 minutes long) EP/MIXTAPE wont be winning ANY Grammys… Digital Spy thought “there’s filler, there’s flashes of genius, there’s an attempt at that classic album, but ultimately, we can’t help but feel it’s a slight Anti-climax.” [86] Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine felt that “the ultimate impression the album leaves isn’t just that of an artist who failed to follow through on her vision, but who never bothered to conceive one in the first place.”
Rihanna just shaded the s### out of Beyonce on Twitter!
What’s the tea girl!??
Apparently…
Somebody posted a tweet saying “The fact that #Desperado is higher on the Bubbling under charts compared to #Formation, a song performed to a global audience” and Rihanna ‘liked’ it.
The tweet has been deleted by the original poster though and he says that Rihanna’s ‘liked’ mention was photoshopped – Just your typical Navy vs Hive shìţ, they’ve been arguing on twitter the past two hours.
That’s it!?
Old room temperature tea
Well Hello Adele! Congrats! Here’s to 10weeks and more to come! Cheers ?
@Tyler Majavelli. Rihanna’s childish ass liked something that poked fun of Beyonce. She quickly deleted it and now lying and saying that it was photo shopped. It wasn’t. These Rhitards always have an excuse for this messy b****. That’s why she can’t get a decent man and no one in the industry f**** with her
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was true.
As a matter of fact, I would be more surprised if Rhianna wasn’t trying to instigate a fight with someone SMDH.
She’s always beefing with other artists.
First Ciara, then Teyana Taylor, now this…
Exactly. Everyone knows Rihanna is a messy b**** but her stupid fans always try to defend her behavior
So, it was Rihanna who deleted the post?
Not the original poster?
He’s all over twitter saying that it was photoshopped and that Rihanna never liked his post! LOL.
Rhianna could punch her fans in the face with a microphone and they’d still defend her.
OOPS! Too late for that….
You are a doggone liar! No one is on Twitter saying that was photo shopped!
LMAO!
Well, I’m a Bey. and Rih. stan (right after Madonna) so I never shade either; I love and support them both but I won’t lie and deny that Rih. hasn’t done her fair of shíţ in the past just like their are things that Bey. has done or said of which has got on my last nerve. Both stanbases have their DERANGED and DELUSIONAL superfans who will do the absolute most to defend their fave to be honest. This site is barely a percentage of that though – there are millions of honest Bey and Rih fans out there either way who will openly admit when their fave is in the wrong and so forth.
@YOUR
Rihanna stays throwing shade at people on Twitter!
Why is it so hard for you to believe that what Cinammon Girl is saying might actually be true? Rihanna has a history of doing s*** like this. What makes this time any different???
Congrats adele
Sam, could u also post about this Hive vs navy Twitter “beef” currently going on !??
Is Anti platinum yet?
Lol is that a trick question!??
Is Jackie sawdust?
Lmao… im so glad FLOPMATION is “flopping” harder than the bubbling under charts itself. This why we can poke fun at how Bey sales 1 million anyway first week all while rih struggles to sell that with a #1. The dragging will be vicuios.
Drag your fat ass to planet fitness
This post is about Adele and yet it’s gone on to Rihanna; how she’s slaying with work and anti whilst the same ol’ beyonce fans hate. This post ain’t got none to do with either, like wtf! lmao, damn, they rly do run this site
* scrolls through post *
I like how u conveniently forgot to mention how the Navy started shading Bey first.
That’s really cute.
You are so right about the Navy. They are some pathetic folks. They defend this messy b**** no matter what. They need to get some self esteem
The navy So jealous of Bey & Ci because they’re beautiful and talented. Rihanna is a very unhappy spirit. No talent, no man, no family and no ass!
Any word on Anti’s sales?
I hope billboard does an early prediction on REFORMATION. Like they did for the ANTI MIXTAPE/EP. they predicted 150k first week & poor Froganna didnt even sell THAT! I see why the Navy stay turnt & lit… their fav is all smoke and mirrors.
Adele’s slayage is sickening.
Slay Yo Gotti with yo Top 4 debut
Work #1 for a second week. Formation is #8… On the Bubbling Under Hot 100. Desperado is at #7 on the same chart! Anti is #2 after a month. What DID Beyonce stop? Anti is about to go double platinum.
Did those $10 tour tickets sell out? I read Ellen Degeneras gave her entire audience free tickets to Flopanna’s tour
Did Wackie Tour sell out any McDonalds Play Places?
Still using $10 tickets even tho it been debunked? How sad.
athe fact is anti in 1 month hasn’t done what self titled did in three (3) days…go buy riris album and concert tickets and quit worrying about that Beyonce did or didnt,we all know whose aleady banked a 100 million before evem performing at a show
Twenty One Pilots Blurry Faces just went platinum before Artpop. Lol
Lol @ Anti going Dbl plat… who what when where & How???? LMAO not when its struggling to hold water on the global chart.
*sigh* The RIAA, riaA! Has not do with world wide sales. I’m done educating you dumb pest. Your poor parents. Lol
Isn’t it sad how Rihanna’s successful and still so messy, childish and infintile? Shading Beyonce on Twitter while Beyonce is chilling in LA with her husband and child
If that was true, there would be more than ONE screen shot. And it was nothing but facts anyway.
Lmaaaaao the Z Squad is really pressed. Their worse than the Hives when it comes to being obsessed with Rih!! Work sold more in its first week then Jackie sold in its lifetime. ???
She sells all these singles but can’t sell out her tour
Shut the hell up because your fav can’t even sell out 1500 capacity venues lmao???? #UMad
2 more months leftto go GOLD b4 REFORMATION Drops. Lo but… “Anti can sell 500k first week and ill be happy”-Mark SCREAMMMING! Lol meanwhile after 1 full month it hasnt even .sold 500k ww. SLAYYY TRICK OR GET ELIMINATED. The countdown is on 8 weeks until REFORMATION.
Countdown to gastric bypass bih lol
Gastric bypass bih sold out in days. When will Flopanna?
When will HeHe Harris sell over 100k copies of an album?
Beyonce has not responded to Rihanna’s shade. You see Beyonce’s a grown woman with a family while Rihanna’s 28 going on 12
@RhiNavy, but but I thought Flopanna can sell out stadiums? All that talking and her tour still hasn’t sold out yet
You don’t have the right to even address the Navy. You stan for HE-ara Flop Harris, the biggest flop in the industry.
I’d rather be the biggest flop in the industry than the biggest h** in the industry
Sadly ciara is both .. Who hasn’t been there bow wow omarion 50 cent future Missy Elliot JustintTimberlake
@RhiNavy, it’s sad when you have to go from stadiums to arenas and cancel dates because no one wants to see your non talented a## in concert
What’s sadder is not having a platinum or Gold album in a decade. #Justice4Ciara
What’s sadder is having all these number ones but no one wants to see you in concert
I don’t blame folks not wanting to see Herpesanna in concert. Who wants to hear a yodeling goat all night long?
I don’t blame folks not wanting to see Flopanna in concert. Who wants to hear a yodeling goat all night long?
Happy for Adele!! Ready for the Beyonce album, it’s about to be fire!!!!!
Adele & Jazmine S. sound nothing alike. Adele’s voice is simply more universal. Y’all are bickering over a comparison that makes no sense. R&b radio doesn’t even play her music not a great deal of other R&B music. Adele is AMAZING!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!
Why is the Navy talking about songs when this post is about albums. Oh thats right because these kummm guzzling hoeees only got singles ?????!!! Im gunna get my kii kii’s in Adele’s tour outsells fRiH ???????????
Anti is at #2 and we were talking about that as well. But you can stay in your delusional state.
Delusional?? Honey you displayed plenty of delusion in that Tidal post #DissMissYoSelf
@King Mark111, how old are you? Because if you are over the age of 18 defending Rihanna’s childish behavior then you truly have no life and need to get one fast
@Ciara Stan, you’re right about that. Rihanna is not a happy person. She has deep rooted issues. Beyonce is chilling in LA with her family and Ciara’s having a ball in Nigeria. Meanwhile Rihanna is being messy on Twitter. She’s a very sad lonely person
The pest clings to tour numbers because that’a all they have now. Oh and her net worth when they’re up against the wall. Funny, MC and Madonna both have a bigger networth, yet you never hear their fans bring it up in battles. Maybe because they have diamond albums, over 10 #1’s and broke records. I mean it is music that we’re fighting about here and all of the sudden after Beyonce can’t chart anymore, it doesn’t matter. Funny, lol.
Keep clinging to those #1’s sweet heart. Because that’s the only thing that the Singles Artist has going for her at the moment
#460
#FLOPti
And 2nd highest selling female artist. Highest Selling Digital and Soundscan Era. Beyonce is apart of both, yet not even in the top 10.
*CORRECTION*
Best selling SINGLES artist of all time.
Meanwhile, Beyonce is listed as one of the highest grossing female performers of all time. She’s also listed as the only female, aside from Britney, to have 5 consecutive #1 albums.
The Singles Artist was no where to be found on either one of those list. So what’s your point!??
Correction: records = album and singles. Nice try.
Rhianna’s singles sales are DISPROPORTIONATELY higher than her album sales.
Again, she’s a SINGLES ARTIST who can’t sell 200,000 albums in the first week of release…
Kiii you’re the epitome of DELUSIONAL! The Hive don’t bring up networth that would be that Shakira stan that we all know stans for FRih but hides behind shegoats album sales. My fav doesn’t just have touring receipts. She has album sales, accolades, critical acclaim, vocals, integrity intacted (fRih sells out to companys cause she afraid to flop) and all around industry respect.
And Rihanna’s still a sad lonely person who will only be a legend in her dreams
And the navy can only cling to singles. And Aaliyah’s can’t cling to anything, like I said, and I’m gonna say it again, she’s a flop in everything, from Music to movie, from singles to albums, from US to Asia. Have it sold pass 300k yet?
Beyonce hasn’t released an album in almost 4 years….lol who’s chart is she trying to top without releasing any music? Lol come on I know u hate her guts but I mean stop reaching when u don’t have to…
“MC and Madonna both have a bigger networth, yet you never hear their fans bring it up in battles. Maybe because they have diamond albums, over 10 #1’s and broke records”
B****! Your bankrupt fave has yet to achieve a diamond album. She cant even go multiplatinum now a days. Rihanna should be sending Samsung a Thank You basket right about now. Because had it not been for them, Anti wouldn’t have been able to “platinum” either. That’s why youre hiding behind MC and Madonna #SinglesArtist
Kiii yas bish!! You betta set Marsha’s pubes on fire ?
How is she going to knock the Hive for bringing up networths and tours though?
1.)Rhianna can’t sell an album. That’s why Anti is stalled at 500K after damn near a MONTH
2.) She can’t sellout a tour. That’s why she’s giving out tickets for $10.
3.)Didn’t she go BANKRUPT a few years back!?
4.) How many accolades does Rhianna have compared to Beyonce!?
How dare they compare a well rounded performer like Bey, to that Singles Artist!
Lmfao! She’s done worse. Her tickets have gone as low as $8 ?????
She’s a DIGITAL QUEEN, and yet Katy and Gaga have Diamond Singles.
SMH so another tweet of Rihanna shading Bey appears, when will this goat learn
http://bit.ly/1pnjvUd
I know that link by now. TGJ take it down and ban this users IP address. What kind of sick individual searches for butchered r*** victim’s. Fuxking gross!!!
One month later and ANTI still havent outsell Beyoncé’s 3 Days sale. I can’t at the most hyped album of 2015! Meanwhile, has it reach top 5 in UK?
Watch ANTI free fall down the charts when Beyoncé drops her album in less than a month
