Adele Becomes First UK Artist To Land A Top 10 Single In The U.S. In 2011

While Adele’s sophomore album 21 has so far racked up three non-consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard‘s Top 200 album chart, it wasn’t until this week that the London songstress finally saw her single “Rolling In The Deep” crack the Top 10 of the Hot 100 (it climbs to #10 on the chart that will be published tomorrow, which also finds Katy Perry’s “E.T.” at #1 for a second week). This not only gives the Grammy winner her first Top 10 American hit, it’s also the first single by a UK artist to reach the upper tier of the Hot 100 in 2011. We think Elle honoree Adele should take a brief break from the heartache of her music to celebrate!

Adele’s status of having the best first-week sales in 2011 with 21 (352,000 copies, in early March) remains untouched yet again, as Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale debuts at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 with 276,000 copies moved out of the gate. This gives Brit her sixth chart-topping album out of her seven studio LPs, but it also marks her lowest first-week sales since her 1999 debut, …Baby One More Time (121,000).

Chris Brown has landed his first #1 album on Billboard‘s Top 200 chart after F.A.M.E. sold 270,000 copies in its first week. This puts the temperamental singer ahead of Lupe Fiasco, who previously scored the second best first-week sales for an album this year. (Only Adele’s 21 has sold more—the record debuted on the strength of 352,000 copies.) Jennifer Hudson’s sophomore LP I Remember Me enters just behind Breezy, at #2 on the chart (165,000).
