Long Live Adele

Adele's "21" has now spent 51 weeks in the top 10 on the U.S. pop chart, but it still, apparently, has room to grow.

Buoyed by her multiple Grammy wins Sunday night and return to the stage after vocal cord surgery, "21" holds its grip on the No. 1 spot on the U.S. pop charts, selling an additional 237,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, With sales up 95%, Adele out-sells Van Halen's first full-length with David Lee Roth since 1984.

Adele's album has now spent a total of 20 weeks at No. 1, giving it the longest run at the top spot since Whitney Houston's soundtrack to "The Bodyguard" racked up 20 weeks in the pole position beginning in late 1992.
