Adele is truly on a roll, with her biggest sales week yet following her Grammys comeback and wins.
After nabbing six Grammy Awards, the British songstress moved 730,000 copies of her album 21 in one week - over double her previous high.
It also marked her 52nd week on the charts and makes 21 the third-highest seller of the last year, behind Lady Gaga's Born This Way (1.1 million/week) and Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV (964,000).
But onto actual records broken - Adele's Grammys jump is the biggest leap recorded, with a 207 per cent hike. She beat Norah Jones' previous record of 621,000 copies following her 2003 Grammys win.
Adele has become the first artist to go double platinum on iTunes with 21, and also holds the record for the longest #1 album by a female artist on the Billboard charts, beating out Whitney Houston's The Bodyguard soundtrack with 21 non-consecutive weeks on the chart.
