From ATRL:

One Direction's Up All Night drops from #8 to #11, ending (for now at least) a 16-week run in the top 10. The album jumps to #2 on the year-to-date album chart, pushing Lionel Richie's Tuskegee down to third place. Adele's 21 is far out front. If Adele and One Direction hold their rankings, this will be the first year in Nielsen SoundScan history in which U.K. acts account for the year's top two albums.

I think it's really funny how some people thought the album wouldn't have longevity in the Billboard 200 charts .

A 16-week run in the top 10 is an amazing achievement and the album will be platinum soon. It might even re-enter the top 10 if One Thing becomes a big hit for them.

I think it is incredible considering the demographic they target. Remember so many on here saying they were simply "single sellers". A great pop album is a great pop album, and Up All Night is just that.

couldn't agree more...

plus having a great pop album (with a killer carrier single), they actually have fans under the radar simply because they are not considered their "target" demographic, lolz!!
