Adele has broken the record for the longest time at number one for any female solo artist in the UK album chart after spending 10 consecutive weeks at the top spot.
The record was previously held by Madonna’s 1990’s The Immaculate Collection.
Adele’s first album ’19’ is at number two after spending 107 weeks in the UK top 40.
Before releasing ’21’, Adele said she was “frightened” about how it would be received.
