Chart News: Adele continues to Soar

2011 has been the year of Adele. With the only record to of sold over 2 million copies thus far this year, Adele's "21" continues to dominate the charts now being certified triple platinum as it is weeks away from selling 3 million copies in the US alone.

Having shifted another 83,000 units this week, "21" has sold an impressive 2.83 million copies this week after roughly five months of release. Though she currently sits at #2 on the Billboard Top 200, her album has never left the top 3 since its release in the US back in March. In addition to all of her success in the US, her album has sold over 3 million copies in the UK and has thus far shifted 8.3 million copies worldwide.

With that in mind, Adele is clearly on track to shift over ten million copies of her breakthrough album "21" by the close of 2011 and is primed to win the Grammy for Album of the Year.
