LOS ANGELES, Jan 4 (Reuters) - British singer Adele closed
out 2015 with a sixth consecutive week atop the weekly U.S.
Billboard 200 album chart on Monday, as her album "25" cemented
its status as the biggest-selling record of the year.
Adele's "25" sold 363,000 units in the final week of 2015,
bringing her total U.S. sales tally to 7.4 million, according to
figures from Nielsen SoundScan.
On the Digital Songs chart, which measures online song
sales, Adele's ballad "Hello" held steady at No. 1 with 327,000
copies sold in the last week of the year.
No new releases cracked into the top 10 of the Billboard 200
list for the week. Justin Bieber's "Purpose" remained steady at
No. 2, while alt-hip hop band Twenty One Pilots's "Blurryface"
climbed to No. 3 from No. 11.
