As you can see all the acts are doing extremely well xl look to score a number 1 in the U.S. with grammy winner Adele with new album 21. 21 has already had chart success, the album in the UK alone has sold well over 600,000 copies making it 2x Platinum. She has also made a record that matches the Beatles, As well as selling 21, her début album 19 has rocketed up the charts to number 4 and Singles Someone Like You (currently the UK number 1) and Rolling in the deep ( UK number 4) are both in the top 5 with someone like you beating off stiff competition from Lady Gaga and new pop sensation Jessie J. She is the first artist to match the record for having two albums and two singles in the top five in the same week. The increase of records sold since the Brit awards has had a dramatic effect on independent artists as well as Adele The XX has also re enter the top 40 albums chart at number 32.
