For the 15th straight week, Adele's 21 album is the #1 selling album on the Billboard 200 chart, pushing 124,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan. While that's down 14% from the week before, the album remains the only one to move over 100,000 this week; Drake's Take Care came in at #2 with 42K copies sold.
Now,record, which stayed afloat for 16 weeks at the #1 spot. But we just have to wonder ... could Adele best the disc all together and got for 17 weeks?!
However, since the 23-year-old singer's vocal cord surgery in November, the question remains whether she will be able to perform by show time Feb. 12. But there is hope: Adele is already booked for a gig the week following the Grammys, so she may get added to the list of performers by then.
Adele will appear Feb. 21 at the 2012 BRIT Awards in London - news that arrived along with this year's list of nominations (she's up for three songs, including British Album of the Year). "F- ing happy, thank you for the nods," Adele tweeted upon hearing the good news.
Grammy organizers frequently announce addition-al performers and presenters as the date approaches, so anything's possible. Adele herself tweeted Friday that she's "looking forward to the Grammys."
