Adele's album has officially been at Number One in America for ages

  • January 19, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Adele's '21' has spent a 16th week at Number One on the US album charts, making it the longest-running chart-topper of the 21st century.

The last album to attain this feat was the 'Titanic OST' in 1998. '21' is now one of just five albums to have managed sixteen weeks at Number One since 1991 and is the 20th album to claim a total of four months at the summit in Billboard's 56-year history.

On the singles chart, Rihanna managed a tenth week at the top with 'We Found Love'.

Seriously, let's give someone else a chance now.
