21 Hits 17th Week at #1

Billboard reports Adele’s 21 is showing no signs of going away anytime soon. The album has now sat firmly in the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart for 17 weeks in a row, making it the longest streak since The Bodyguard pulled off a 20 week run back in 1993.

So, can Adele’s 21 hold on for 21 weeks? She’s going to be facing some tough competition from the 2012 Grammy Nominees CD as well as Tim McGraw’s new release, reports Billboard.

Adele’s 21 is followed on the charts by Kidz Bop 21, the Black Keys’ El Camino, Drake’s Take Care, Rihanna’s Talk That Talk, Young Jeezy’s TM103: Hustlerz Ambition, James Fortune & FIYA’s Identity, Toby Keith’s Clancy’s Tavern, Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto, Nickelback’s Here and Now.
