Comments

Adele storms to the top of the chart with her second album. It is not only her second consecutive #1, it is the biggest selling album in January since the debut of the Arctic Monkeys five years ago. The excitement over Adele's new music also pulls her first album back into the top 5. This is the first time any act has had their current release and previous release both in the top 5 since 1999 when the Corrs accomplished the feat. Diddy has a less successful opening as Last Train to Paris struggles to open just inside the top 25.
