Singer Adele’s 21 Ties another 1 Billboard Record
Adele’s 21 give a whole new meaning to “Achy Breaky Heart.” The singer’s unstoppable album will notch its 17th non consecutive week at 1 next week on the Billboard albums chart. She shares that honor with Billy Ray Cyrus’ breakthrough. In 1997 “Titanic” soundtrack Adele sold 95,000 copies of 21 to keep the top spot, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan. That was more than enough to lock out the 21st edition of the Kidz Bop series, which will debut at 2 on sales of 59,000. Other new face in the top 10 is gospel act James Fortune & FIYA’s Identity, which moved 18,000 units.

The rest of the top 10: Black Keys’ El Camino – 3, 29,000, Drake’s Take Care – 4, 29,000, Rihanna’s Talk That Talk – 5, 20,000, Young Jeezy’s TM 103: Hustlerz Ambition – 6, 19,000, Toby Keith’s Clancy’s Tavern -8, 17,000, Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto – 9, 17,000 and Nickelback’s Here and Now – 10, 17,000. Adele might be safe for another week if the latest from country star Tim McGraw doesn’t push her out of the top spot. Other new releases albums from Lamb of God, Kellie Pickler and Amnesty International’s four disc Chimes of Freedom – the Songs of Bob Dylan compilation.
