<P>Surely someone is going to come along to knock <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/adele/artist.jhtml"><B>Adele</B></a> off her perch. But in the meantime, the <a href="/news/articles/1679311/adele-grammys-next-album.jhtml">Grammy-winning singer</a> simply cannot be beat, as her <I>21</I> will notch its 22nd non-consecutive week at #1 next week thanks to sales of nearly 297,000, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan. </P><P> </P><P>And that's with sales dropping almost 60 percent from her <a href="/news/articles/1679672/adele-breaks-record-sales-grammy.jhtml">post-Grammy high</a>. More than <a href="/news/articles/1679599/adele-21-album-facts.jhtml">a year into her incredible run, Adele</a> has sold almost 7.7 million copies of her second album in the U.S. Also holding strong was the <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/houston_whitney/artist.jhtml"><B>Whitney Houston</B></a> greatest-hits collection, which lost just 1 percent of its sales from the previous week, staying in the #2 position on sales of 174,000 in the second full chart week since the <a href="/news/articles/1679029/whitney-houston-dead.jhtml">singer's death</a>. It was joined in the top 10 by the soundtrack to "The Bodyguard," (#6, 47,000, up 176 percent) and her self-titled debut (#9, 30,000, up 72 percent). </P><P> </P><P>Among the debuts in the top 10 are: <B>Fun.</B>, <a href="/news/articles/1679545/fun-we-are-young-anthem.jhtml"><I>Some Nights</I></a> (#3, 70,000); <B>Tyga</B>, <a href="/news/articles/1662529/tyga-careless-world.jhtml"><I>Careless World: Rise of the Last King</I></a> (#4, 61,000); and <B>Chiddy Bang</B>, <I>Breakfast</I> (#8, 31,000). </P><P> </P><P>The rest of the top 10: <I>Now That's What I Call Music! 41</I> (#5, 54,000); Adele's debut, <I>19</I> (#7, 39,000); and the <I>2012 Grammy Nominees</I> compilation (#10, 29,000). </P><P> </P><P>Just outside the top tier, buzz duo <B>Sleigh Bells</B> rolled into a #12 debut with their second album, <a href="/news/articles/1677809/sleigh-bells-comeback-kid-video.jhtml"><I>Reign of Terror</I></a> and <B>Grimes</B> hit #98 with <I>Visions</I> (5,000). </P><P> </P><P>Over on the iTunes singles chart, Fun.'s hookup with <B>Janelle Monae</B>, "We Are Young," was at #1, followed by <B>Kelly Clarkson</B>'s "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," <B>The Wanted</B> with "Glad You Came," <B>Katy Perry</B>'s "Part of Me" and <B>B.o.B</B>'s "So Good." The list was rounded out by Adele at #6 with "Set Fire to the Rain," <B>Nicki Minaj</B> just behind with "Starships," then <B>Gotye</B> with "Somebody That I Used to Know," <B>Chris Brown</B> with "Turn Up the Music" and <B>Carrie Underwood</B>'s "Good Girl." </P><P> </P><P>Adele easily kept the #1 spot on the iTunes album chart, followed by Tyga, Fun., Chiddy Bang, Houston, Sleigh Bells, Gotye's <I>Making Mirrors,</I> Adele's <I>19,</I> <B>Drake</B>'s <I>Take Care</I> and the <b>Beatles</b>' <I>1.</I> </P><P> </P><P>Adele should be safe for another week as she pursues the magic 24-weeks-at-#1 mark, though the new album from <B>Bruce Springsteen</B> could provide a challenge. Otherwise, the fresh faces include <B>Sean Paul</B>, <B>Estelle</B> and <a href="/news/articles/1680112/kid-cudi-wzrd-under-shipping.jhtml"><B>Kid Cudi</B>'s troubled <I>WZRD</I> project</a>. </P><P> </P><P><CENTER><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:719494/cp~vid%3D719494%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A719494" width="430" height="242" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></CENTER></p>
