Adele equals Beatles record in Official Charts Brits Bonanza

Adele’s Someone Like You rockets up the Official Singles Chart from last week’s number 47 to become the UK’s new number one while her current album 21 heads the Official Albums Chart for a fourth week.
With single Rolling In the Deep and album 19 also charting Adele is the first living artist to achieve the feat of two Top 5 hits in both the Official Singles Chart and the Official Albums Chart simultaneously since The Beatles back in January 1964.
Adele’s achievement spearheads a huge surge in sales for all the artists who won or performed at the Brits (surprise suprise) with downloads of live Brit performances surpassing 90,000 sales in just over four days.
