Chart News: Adele

Adele's sophomore effort "21" continues to break sales and chart records as she scores a record-breaking 11th consecutive week atop the UK Albums Chart. This impressive chart stay dethrones that previously held by The Beatles and Madonna who both held at #1 for an astonishing 10-weeks.  Adele's "21" to date has sold over 1.87 million copies in the UK and has so far been certified 7x platinum. In addition to this amazing sales feat, Adele's "21" has also continually sold over 100,000 each week so far on the UK Album Charts which marks another record for the songstress. 2011 is shaping up to be the year of Adele as "21" is already the best-selling project of the year in the  US with sales over 940,000 and counting.

So far, "21" is close to surpassing the  4 million sales mark worldwide with less then 9 weeks of being released worldwide. Taken into account that only two official singles have been serviced from her album so far, I predict that Adele's "21" will rank in roughly 7.5 million copies by the years end and the singer-songwriter should have a lock on several major awards from the recently reconfigured Grammy Awards.
