Sweet Victory!
UK songbird Adele officially cemented her status as a U.S. heavy hitter today, with her sophomore album 21 debuting atop the Billboard 200 with a reported 352,000 copies sold.
That sum is the biggest opener since Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday debuted back in in December both when they both topped 375,000.
21 has been sitting atop the world album charts for 4 consecutive weeks, and with this hefty debut in the U.S. she almost guarantees at least another week ruling the world of music.
And she's only 21 (hence the album title). You know who else is 21? Taylor Swift, and Adele's voice and songs puts Taylor Lautner's ex to shame!!

1. Adele 21 (352,000)
