SOLD OUT NORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF IN MAY

NEW YORK, March 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Adele’s sophomore album 21 soars to the #1 position on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart with over 350,000 copies sold this week.  To date, Adele’s 21
is the biggest selling album of 2011.  This amazing U.S. debut comes
hot on the heels of Adele’s massive international success where 21 entered charts at #1 in the U.K., Ireland, Austria, New Zealand, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium and Canada.  After delivering a jaw dropping performance of her song “Someone Like You” at The Brit Awards on February 15,
that live performance immediately shot to the top of the U.K. singles
chart.  Also that week Adele’s single “Rolling In The Deep” was at #4
with her two albums both occupying the #1 (21) and #4 (19)
positions on the UK album chart.  This feat has earned Adele the
distinction of being the only living artist to tie the Beatles 1964
record of having two entries in the top 5 on both U.K. singles and album
charts.  Released in Europe on January 24, Adele’s 21
has dominated the UK album chart in the #1 position for five weeks
straight.  This week Adele occupies the #1 and #2 positions on the UK
album chart with 21 and 19 respectively. To continue, please click “MORE”!
