[新聞] 30/01/2011 - Adele comes of age with 21 at number one

[aoisaiky (Parcy)]

Adele scorches to the top of the Official Albums Chart today as 21, her
second album, achieves record sales of over 208,000 in just its
first week of release, the Official Charts Company confirms today.

This makes 21 the biggest January album for five years since Arctic Monkeys
sold some 363,000 copies of their debut album Whatever People Say I Am
That's What I'm Not in January 2006.

But 21 has also racked up more sales in one week than several of last year’s
biggest releases managed to do at any time of year. Albums from Eminem, Kings
Of Leon and Cheryl Cole all failed to break the 200,000 sales barrier in
2010. In fact, the feat was only achieved by Take That with their original
line-up reunion album Progress, released last November, which has seen weekly
sales of over  200,000 on no less than five occasions, including first week
sales of over half a million.

Meanwhile Adele’s debut album, the double platinum, Mercury-nominated 19,
which first entered the Official Albums Chart at number one back in February
2008, is this week’s number four giving the twenty-two-year-old Londoner two
Official Albums Chart Top 5 hits simultaneously.  The last time an act could
boast a number one album and a second album in the Official Albums Chart Top
5 at the same time was almost twelve years ago when The Corrs were number one
with Talk On Corners and number two with Forgiven Not Forgotten in April
1999.  Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall and Thriller were both in Official
Albums Chart Top 5 in July 2009 after the singer’s death the previous month
but at chart positions number three and number four respectively.

Adele has also enjoyed a number of Official Singles Chart hits including her
debut Chasing Pavements (number two, 2008), Make You Feel My Love (number
four, 2008) and current single Rolling In The Deep which entered the Official
Singles Chart last week at number two and is this week’s number three.

There are just two new entries in this week’s Official Albums Chart Top 10;
Irish vocalist Imelda May scores her highest UK chart position to date with
second major label album Mayhem at number seven (up from last week’s 15) and
Lancashire born opera star Alfie Boe also scores a personal best with Bring
Him Home at number nine (up from last week’s 20).

In the Official Singles Chart, twenty-two-year-old US phenomenon and
Nashville-raised Kesha makes her mark on the UK as We R Who We R, a former US
number one, sails straight to pole position with over 90,000 sales. We R Who
We R is the first track to be released from Animal + Cannibal, the expanded
version of her 2.5 million selling debut album Animal (number eight, 2010).
 Animal + Cannibal is scheduled for release in the UK on 31st January.  Kesha
’s previous highest Official Singles Chart hit was Tik Tok (number four,
2009).

The Official Singles Chart Top 10 features two other new entries this week;
London production duo Chase & Status’ Blind Faith featuring Liam Bailey,
straight in at number five, and Chris Brown’s Yeah 3X straight in at number
ten gives the American singer and actor the twelfth Official Singles Chart
Top 40 hit of his career.

Adele締造了12年來的女性奇蹟

他從受爭議 到 現在的成就

就像許多人給予他的評論一樣

時間 會證明這女人的才華

現在 我們就一起見證這歷史性的一刻吧!

英國白金只要30萬就可以

你說 她今年 拿不拿的到3面呢?
