With only a few weeks shy of the anniversary of its release, Adele‘s sophomore album ‘21′ has made history yet again!
Indeed, with a whopping 19 non consecutive weeks spent atop the UK Album Chart, it is the longest running #1 album in the country since Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ which held court at the top spot for a mind blowing 33 non-consecutive weeks following its release in 1970.
This comes after the project was confirmed as being 2011’s highest selling album world wide with over 15 million copies sold, and after the singer picked up multiple nominations at the 2012 Grammy Awards, surpassing the efforts of chart rivals Rihanna, Lady GaGa and Katy Perry.
Well done Adele!
