Adele's "21" continues to soar on the charts and after last week, it became the first album to spend 30 weeks in the top 5 of the Billboard Top 200 since Whitney Houston's 1993 "The Bodyguard." With that said, Adele just surpassed the 10 million units sold mark of "21" thanks to selling another 276k this past week. Though it finds the album at #2 on the World Charts, this sales frame allows Adele to blow by the 10 million units sold mark and she is currently sitting with 10.15 million units sold. Thanks to the help of her number one singles "Rolling In The Deep" and "Someone Like You," it seems as though Adele is on lock for several of the top Grammy Awards next year and I wouldn't be shocked if the album surpasses 15 million units by the Grammys. With an impressive 10.15 million units sold this past week, Adele's "21" becomes the fastest selling album since Usher's Confessions which surpassed this sales frame in the same amount of time.
With limited promotion and a solid set of songs, Adele is truly making her presence known in the industry and fans worldwide. While she has already begun thinking about her third album, it's refreshing to see that "21" still has so much life to give in terms of singles before another album should be rolled out. With that said, if you don't have "21" in your record collection yet, it's a must have!
