Look at page 4 of the 'Adele- putting things in context' thread in the chart analysis section, for a list of the UK records. It needs updating. As for worldwide records, there would need to be a book made!jpguy wrote:What records has she broken?

But this source only shows that Rumour is played by a radio station and not that it's the 4th single in Poland...arab wrote:Rumour is officialy the 4th single from 21 here in Poland

If the song is charting on the most popular chart on the biggest radio station in Poland, it means that it's the official single...trust meTimmy94 wrote:But this source only shows that Rumour is played by a radio station and not that it's the 4th single in Poland...arab wrote:Rumour is officialy the 4th single from 21 here in Poland

I passionately follow charts for 30 years and I have never absolutely never heard of this combined UK/US albums list before some of Adele's fans here mentioned it. Using same logic you can create countless "records" calculating what album spent the most weeks as #1 in the US/Germany or US/France, US/Japan, US/Canada, US/Mexico, US/Italy, UK/France, UK/Italy ... or you can combine 3 countries or 4, 5, 6...phoenix83 wrote:For me some of the most impressive:

you completely ignore Michael Jackson's domination in 2009 which was the biggest chart domination ever in the music history. Only for example, in the week ending June 28, 2009 (based on 3+ days sales) MJ had 3 best-selling albums in the US in one week (previous record was set in 1964 when The Beatles held 3 of the top 4 spots - 1st, 2nd and 4th place.) and he also had 50 songs in the top 200 Hot Digital Songs chart (6 in the top 10, 11 in the top 20, 21 in the top 50, 31 in the Top 100). If he was allowed to chart on the CURRENT charts (Hot100/BB200) with his catalog songs/albums in the week after his death he would have 3 songs (Billie Jean, Thriller, Man In The Mirror) in the Hot 100's top 10 and 3 albums in the Billboard 200's top 5 (#1, #2 and #3) in the same week. Nevertheless his unprecedented domination was reported and acknowledged by Billboard. By the way for 7 consecutive weeks, Michael Jackson had 3 of the top 5 best-selling albums in the US etc. etc.This so-called official figure for "Thriller" reported by OCC is only for RETAIL sales. Both Madonna and Michael Jackson scored massive non-retail sales for which record companies payed taxes. Ignoring legal non-retail sales is complete nonsense but whatever...phoenix83 wrote:4. Most successful solo album of all time in the UK by virtually every measure (4.28+ million sales, breaking Thriller's record of 4.27 million sales; 23 wks at No 1 breaking Elvis' GI Blues = 22 wks, etc.)

For someone who has passionately followed charts for 30 years, you seem painfully unaware of the fact that success on the US and UK charts are seen as the pinnacle by most artists. These are the countries which have produced the majority of influential artists since the charts began, and are 2 of the biggest music markets in the world (along with Japan and, recently, Germany). Certainly if an album spends 20+ more weeks in both countries it's an exceptional feat.HAL9000 wrote:I passionately follow charts for 30 years and I have never absolutely never heard of this combined UK/US albums list before some of Adele's fans here mentioned it.

So why did Billboard state that Adele had joined the Beatles as the only artist to have 3 top ten singles and 2 top five albums concurrently ?HAL9000 wrote:As usualphoenix83 wrote:2.

Has it taken you this long to bring up the "club vs retail" sales argument? 21 passed Thriller in the UK more than a week ago, people were expecting this much earlier. Internet piracy/Spotify/iTunes cherrypicking/ability to listen to tracks on YouTube has affected 21 to a huge extent as well so please don't bring up such arguments.HAL9000 wrote:This so-called official figure for "Thriller" reported by OCC is only for RETAIL sales.

Claiming that "Thriller" sold only 4,27 million copies in the UK (ignoring legal non-retail sales) is the same as claiming that "Come On Over" by Shania Twain sold 15,5 million copies (reported by SoundScan) even though album was certified 20× Platinum based on complete actual sales.
Anyway Adele's "21" is definitely the most dominant album ever in the UK and it is only matter of time when will pass actual "Thriller" and "Bad" sales figures.
