Adele the only artist since 2008 to send 5 weeks at #1

[Benjamin]

Not since Katy Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl' (2008) has an artist managed to collect 5 weeks at the #1 position.

Congrats Adele! There really is no stopping her this year.

Jeez, that song got boring after two minutes. Don't people have anything better to listen to? :conf2:

[Callum]

To be fair the competition has been pretty weak these past couple of months, no big new releases or anything. I think Jennifer Lopez might knock her off #1 on next week's chart though.

As long as she fails 7 weeks @ #1, then she'll lose to Leona, and Leona would of had more weeks but was overtaken by XF winner song

[joeysteele]

Amazing and very well deserved success, this week she has the Number one single and Album,another single in the top 10 and also still the number 2 position in the album chart as well as the top spot too.

You forget Rihanna's 'Umbrella' at 10 weeks and Gnarls Barkley 'Crazy' with 9 weeks. Leona is still on 3rd longest time spent at #1 this century.

I reckon she could of had 10 weeks, but x factor winner always sells 500k+ in a week, considering BL sold more than Umbrella in the UK

Bryan Adams, Wet Wet Wet, Whitney Houston, John Travolta/Olivia Newton John, The Shadows, The Archies, Frankie Laine, Eddie Calvert, Doris Day, David Whitfield, Slim Whitman, Paul Anka and Perry Como all got longer than 7 weeks too :spin2:

-realises you said 'this century'.......-


:bawling:

She's done well to go back to number one after slipping off it. It is a great song though

[MTVN]

Surprising it was able to get back to no.1, it's a good song but I'm bored of it now tbh

[Callum]

I think this week will be it's last at number one. Jennifer Lopez is currently #1 on iTunes and she's got quite a bit of promo lined up this week I think so the chances are she'll overtake Adele in the midweeks. Still Adele has had a good reign at the top and I doubt her album will fall from #1 even when Britney's released tomorrow.

[Benjamin]

No other original studio album this century has had such a long run at the top of the Official Albums Chart. Adele’s 21 now equal Madonna’s compilation The Immaculate Collection (1990) for longest consecutive weeks at number one by a solo female artist.
