British singer-songwriter Adele achieves her second number one in the UK album chart with 21.
Adele also has three singles in this week's top 40, and her 2008 album 19 - a former number one - has risen to number four in the album chart.
About its release she said "I'm very excited, nervous, eager, anxious but chuffed to announce my new album! It's taken a while and it knocked me for six when writing it. It's different from '19', it's about the same things but in a different light. I deal with things differently now. I'm more patient, more honest, more forgiving and more aware of my own flaws, habits and principles. Something that comes with age I think. So fittingly this record is called '21'. The whole reason I called my first album '19' was about cataloging what happened to me then and who I was then, like a photo album you see the progression and changes in a person throughout the years".
'21' is available to order NOW on CD album and Vinyl LP
