This week, '21' marks its 20th week at number one which is currently tied with Whitney Houston's 'The Bodyguard Soundtrack' and Elvis Presley's 'Blue Hawaii.' Adele's '21' is number one with sales of 237,000 copies of her album, a 95 percent increase over the previous week.
The increase pushed the album past the 6.6 million mark in total sales (USA alone), and experts predict the sales could double again next week in the wake of the Grammy triumph, which will give total sales of over 7 million.
Coincidently, next week marks her 52nd week on the Billboard 200 (a whole year) and will be her 21st week at number one with the album '21.' With 21 weeks Adele will tie MC Hammer's 'Please Hammer Don't Hurt Em.'
