Kelly Clarkson Topples Adele On Hot 100, Madonna Debuts In The Top 20
Wed Feb 8 2012 by Robbie Daw
Adele may still be the top diva on Billboard's Top 200 album chart, but over on the Hot 100 she's been bumped off by Kelly Clarkson. The two Grammy nominees trade places as Adele's third 21 single "Set Fire To The Rain", which previously spent two weeks at #1, now cedes the peak position to Super Bowl singer Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)". This marks the American Idol winner's third chart-topper, following 2002's "A Moment Like This" and 2009's "My Life Would Suck Without You".

Adele Still On Top Of Album Chart, Lana Del Rey Debuts At #2
Wed Feb 8 2012 by Robbie Daw
With Adele's 21 in the peak position on Billboard's Top 200 for a 19th non-consecutive week, the album is just seven days shy of tying the 20-week run at #1 by the soundtrack to 1992 film The Bodyguard — i.e. the most recent album to have a lengthier run atop the chart. 21 sold another 122,000 copies last week, and the Grammy Album Of The Year nominee will likely see a boost in sales after this Sunday's ceremony.

Will Lana Del Rey’s ‘Born To Die’ Bump Adele’s ‘21′ From #1 Next Week?
Wed Feb 1 2012 by Robbie Daw
Adele's 21 is in the peak position on Billboard's Top 200 for an 18th non-consecutive week, though she may have some competition on the horizon in the form of Lana Del Rey's debut Born To Die — the standard and deluxe versions of which are occupying the top two spots on iTunes. The divisive “Video Games songstress is also tops at Amazon's MP3 store. As for this week, Adele's Grammy-nominated sophomore effort is #1 after another 116,000 in sales.

Adele’s ‘21′ Has Now Had Longest Stretch At #1 Since ‘Bodyguard’ Soundtrack
Wed Jan 25 2012 by Robbie Daw

Now at 17 weeks in the peak position on Billboad's Top 200, 21 is the longest chart-topping album since Whitney Houston spent 20 weeks at #1 with The Bodyguard soundtrack between 1992 and 1993.

Adele’s ‘21′ Matches ‘Titanic’ Soundtrack’s 16-Week Stay At #1
Wed Jan 18 2012 by Robbie Daw
Adele's 21 has finally caught up to the Titanic soundtrack's 16-week run at #1 on Billboard's Top 200 chart. The 1997 movie's score by James Horner (complete with Celine Dion's chart-topping hit "My Heart Will Go On") was the last LP to rack up as many weeks atop the main album chart. Prior to that, the 1992 Bodyguard soundtrack ruled with its staggering 20-week reign at #1. Can Adele also knock Whitney for a loop?

Adele Set To Tie ‘Titanic’ Soundtrack’s Run — Next Stop: Beating ‘Bodyguard’
Thu Jan 12 2012 by Robbie Daw
Adele missed out on nabbing the People's Choice Awards she was up for (thanks to sweeping songstress Katy Perry), but that hasn't stopped the people from choosing to purchase 21 and its hit singles. "Set Fire To The Rain" moved up to #4 on the new Hot 100 chart published today, thus making it the London singer's third Top 5 hit off her sophomore album. And with 21 currently parked at #1 yet again on the Top 200, Billboard now reports that the LP should have no problem tying the Titanic soundtrack's 16-week run atop the album chart next week.

Adele’s ‘21′ Has Nearly Spent The Equivalent Of Four Months At #1
Wed Jan 11 2012 by Robbie Daw
Adele's 21 racks up a 15th non-consecutive week in the peak position on the Billboard Top 200, thus leaving her one week away from matching the most recent album to spend more weeks at #1 — the Titanic soundtrack. We're putting our cash on Adele for passing up the 1997 movie's score, since awards season is just now heating up and the photogenic singer, who's up for six Grammys, is rumored to be opening the televised ceremony on February 12.

Adele Tops Final 2011 Album, Single Sales Lists
Wed Jan 4 2012 by Robbie Daw
No one should really be surprised that Adele ruled both single and album sales in 2011. Her sophomore album 21 is currently #1 on Billboard's Top 200 for a 14th non-consecutive week, and, when all was said and done, it sold 5.82 million copies last year — the most any album has sold since 2004, when Usher's Confessions moved 7.98 million copies. Likewise, "Rolling In The Deep" capped off '11 at 5.81 million, marking the first time a single has topped 5 million paid downloads in a year. See who sold what in 2011 below.

Adele Unsinkable As She Nears ‘Titanic’ Soundtrack’s Stretch On Album Chart
Wed Jan 4 2012 by Robbie Daw
It's a relatively quiet week on the Billboard Top 200, as sales drop in the post-holiday season and Michael Buble's Christmas and Justin Bieber's Under The Mistletoe plunge down the chart like discarded ornaments. That said, Adele's Grammy-nominated sophomore set 21 soldiers on and caps the album roundup for a 14th non-consecutive week after another 144,000 copies were sold. It's still the most weeks spent at #1 since the Titanic soundtrack's 16-week reign in 1998. And with awards season momentum behind her, Adele could very well capsize Titanic's title.

Adele Has Her Best Sales Week Ever
Wed Dec 28 2011 by Idolator Staff
Last-minute shoppers gave Adele's 21 one last kick in the pants on the charts ending Christmas Day, which saw the Grammy-nominee's best sales week ever in the 45th week of release. (The disc was stuffed into 399,000 stockings.) That brings 21 up to 5.68 million copies sold, far and away 2011's highest seller (unless Michael Buble miraculously manages to sell over 3 million copies of his holiday LP post-Christmas — highly unlikely). But the SNL performer did manage to claim the charts' top slot for the fifth week running, getting stragglers into the Christmas spirit with 467,000 copies sold, surpassing Lady Gaga's Born This Way to become the year's second highest-selling album.
