Adele ‘25’ Certified Double Platinum In Australia In Three Days

Returning to the top of the ARIA Albums Chart this week is Adele with “25” for its eighth week at the chart summit.

Last Friday the 8th of January was the 69th Birthday of music legend David Bowie and also the day that he released his 25th studio album entitled “Blackstar”, then two days later on the Sunday he passed away from his struggle with cancer, and as his album was already on track to take over the No.1 spot from Adele, it was then cemented to the top of the retail and digital sales charts and lands at No.1 on the ARIA Albums Chart this week.

Adele ‘25’ is still selling in outstanding numbers with the title last week alone counting for 10% of all album sales in the Top 100.

Seven weeks and running for Adele as her third set “25” remains at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart again this week.

It's time to once again look back at the state of the music industry in the year just passed.

Not since Pink has an act scored the ARIA No.1 Album of the Year twice, but for 2015 Adele and her third set “25”, it took out the top honors, matching the top spot her previous album “21” achieved for 2011.

Adele ‘25’ is not showing any signs of slowing down as we hit the first week of 2016.
