Adele equals record set by Madonna

Adele regained her rule over both the UK singles and albums charts yesterday, March 27, as 'Someone Like You' moved back up to number 1 to join her sophomore record '21' and she has now matched an incredible record. 

The Official Charts Company released a statement that explained the 'Rolling In The Deep' star has equalled a feat set and held only by the Queen of Pop, Madonna:

"No other original studio album this century has had such a long run at the top of the Official Albums Chart.   Adele’s 21 now equal Madonna’s compilation The Immaculate Collection (1990) for longest consecutive weeks at number one by a solo female artist."

In addition to this, Adele has also matched The Beatles' record for having the most consecutive weeks at number 1 in the 21st century. Watch a recent interview with her here:
