Mediatraffic:

21 #2 (271,000 - a 19% increase)
19 #15 (48,000)

21 sold more than MDNA!!! Like, a LOT more. 89k to be exact.

Friday midweeks:

21 #1 (yes, again! 1.8k ahead and sales up 11.5% on this time last week)
19 Top 15 (exact position wasn't provided)

15 months after the album has came out. The last single was out like last may. Why?!

I just remain surprised at Adele's continued sales success, on the Media traffic all time list the album is up to 66 and will no doubt continue to rise over the next few weeks.

I do feel a bit sorry for Madonna as I kind of grew up with her.

21 equals Elvis Presleys 50+ year old old record of most weeks at number one for a solo act.

Any word on how much it sold this week???

You beat me to it. I'm not amused**. :sleep:

And no, no word on what it's sold this week yet, although it was mentioned in Friday's midweeks that 21 was the only album in the top ten to have a sales increase, although whether that affects the overall sales, who knows.

**Just kidding. But seriously, though. You beat me to it. How could you?

If this is what happens from one repeat showing of RAH, imagine if she did an audience with Adele, for ITV at prime time.
Mind you, they are in her bad books at the moment!.

What UK releases are coming up this week? Do we think she could get 23 weeks?

Btw, An Audience with Adele needs to happen. I would never stop watching it, tbh.

She's the perfect personality for An Audience with....it would be an absolute hoot. Been saying this for ages but it's yet to happen . I think she may appear on The Voice to pay itv back for the Brits debacle.

Twitter lighting up that she is currently on tv in the audience at Tottenham game?

She is going to get lots of media coverage when she passes Thriller. Lol. I hope she at least shows up for the Billboard awards. Performing would be the icing on this era.

From Official Charts.

Adele is back on top today, as her record-smashing 2011 album 21 returns to the summit of the Official Albums Chart. Though up-and-coming US rockers Alabama Shakes had taken a surprise early lead in Wednesday’s Official Chart Update, Adele has since nudged back up to reclaim the top spot in 21’s 64th week on chart.

In doing so the Tottenham-born phenomenon overtakes the career records of music legends David Bowie and Dire Straits in the number of career weeks spent at Number 1 in the UK’s Official Albums Chart. Adele currently enjoys a tally of 23 weeks, that includes the one week at Number 1 of her debut album, 19, plus 22 weeks for her current album. Bowie and Dire Straits each hold a joint 22 weeks.

If that’s not enough, 21 also leapfrogs classic albums by The Beatles as 21 spends its 22nd week at the top today, which is now one week more than both A Hard Day’s Night and With The Beatles achieved, both of which spent 21 weeks apiece at Number 1.

This news comes after a recent run of broken records by the London singer/songwriter, OfficialCharts.com recently confirmed that 21 is now the sixth biggest selling album of all time in the UK, having overtaken Michael Jackson’s Bad, Pink Floyd’s 1973 epic Dark Side Of The Moon and Dire Straits’ Brothers In Arms, all in a matter of weeks. See story here.

The Top 5 close the week as Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday – Roman Reloaded at Number 2, midweek leaders Alabama Shakes’ Boys & Girls (Number 3), Jessie J’s Who You Are (4) and Emeli Sande’s Our Version Of Events (5).

The Official Charts company claimed on Wednesday, I think it was, that there was only 89k separating the two. Should pass that by summer!!

This album is the energizer bunny! it keeps going and going and going. And she's just like, hanging out.

She should make an appearance on one of America's many voice-based shows. And NOT do RITD, please. Maybe Turning Tables since people who don't have her album may already be familiar with it because of Glee.

She should perform 'One and Only'. Love that song!

was she shown on TV? I only saw 2nd half, sadly for Adele Spurs were stuffed...i couldn't care less personally

can't wait till she passes Thriler, been waiting for that one for ages. Looking forward to the fallout too

There are a lot of pics. Here's a couple.

Perhaps a late night audience otherwise I would feel sorry for the bleeper!!

Agree though I would love this to happen

I love that song as well. I'm just thinking of songs that would be immediately catching.

I'd like I'll Be Waiting also, if she really got into it.

Big Spurs fan... she went nuts when she met one of the players a year or two back.

Congrats to Adele on another week at #1

Article from producers of Bond on Adele rumours. At this point if she doesn't sing the theme, I'm boycotting the movie damn it! Lol. No matter how many times Daniel Craig takes off his shirt!

She was originally going to name her dog after Aaron Lennon before settling for Louie Armstrong.
