Adele hits another chart milestone in America

Friday saw Adele reach another milestone in America, holding down #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart for the 23rd week. Billboard reports that her sophmore album sold another 247,000 copies in the past week, and has now become the longest-running #1 since Prince & the Revolutions 'Purple Rain' soundtrack spent 24 weeks at the top in 1984/1985. This year the Pop princess has sold 2.07 million copies, with Whitney's Greatest Hits way behind in second, with 527,000 copies sold. Unbelievable.
