Adele's "25" fastest million-selling album in UK chart history

LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Adele's "25" sold 1 million copies
faster than any album in British chart history and topped the
album charts for the second week running on Friday.
Fans bought up 1 million copies of the British singer's
third album in just 10 days, beating previous record holder
Oasis' "Be Here Now", which took 17 days to hit the milestone in
1997, the Official Charts Company said.
Coming four years after her chart-topping album "21", 25
sold 439,000 copies this week and outsold the rest of the top 10
albums combined.
Elsewhere in the album charts, Elvis Presley held second
position with the "If I Can Dream" compilation while Justin
Bieber's "Purpose" held on to third.
Bieber and Adele are also fighting it out in the UK singles
chart, with Bieber pushing his own single "Sorry" out of number
one position to replace it instead with "Love yourself". Adele's
"Hello", from 25, followed at number three.
Love yourself was the most streamed single of the week with
5.97 million plays.
Replacing oneself at number one was last done by Elvis
Presley in 2005 and the last living act to do it was The Beatles
in 1963 with "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand".
Another Bieber song, "What Do You Mean?" was fourth while
fifth spot went to Grace ft. G-Eazy's "You Don't Own Me" which
stormed up from 44th place this week.
