Adele's '25'is still the World's Best-selling Album for a seventh week
after selling another 387,000 copies, more than twice as much Justin
Bieber's 'Purpose' at No.2, which sold 168,000 units this past week.
But this coming week, David Bowie's latest effort 'Black Star' will
most probably overtake '25' temporarily. After his sudden death on
January 10, the sales of his new LP have gone sky high. Both Adele's
former albums are still in the Top 40 with '21'rising to no.11 with
sales of 40,000, and '19' rising to no.29 with sales of 19,000.
