Week 6 of Adele‘s domination of the Billboard 200 may have logged its lowest figures yet, but they were still enough to land her another week at the summit of the tally.
Dropping over 70% from last week’s mega holiday sales, ’25’ (363,000) still managed to shift over 140,000 more units than its nearest competitor – Justin Bieber‘s comeback opus ‘Purpose’ (217,000) The twosome, who jointly dominated both the album and singles charts for most of 2015’s latter half, won’t see their dominion slow too soon if the performance of other “hot” albums is any indication.
Chris Brown‘s ‘Royalty,’ which still reigns proudly over the R&B album charts for a second week, also saw over 70% drop in sales (55,000 this week, 184,000 last week). Dropping to #8 on this week’s Billboard 200, the album is one of 4 Urban releases found in the top 10.
