One Idolator writer revisits Adele's discography and ranks each record-breaking LP.

In another relatively slow winter week that saw few major album releases, Adele‘s 25 climbs back up to the top of the Billboard 200 for an eighth non-consecutive turn at #1. The album spent its first seven weeks in the top spot on the chart before being bumped down by David Bowie‘s Blackstar. Last week saw Panic! At The Disco land its first #1 with Death Of A Bachelor, but this time around Adele has crept back up after 25 sold another 97,000 copies. Since its November release, the album has sold 7.94 million copies total.

The two albums that managed to debut in the Top 10 this week: Megadeth‘s 15th studio outing Dystopia (at #3 with 48,000 sold) and this year’s Grammy nominee’s compilation (#9 with 31,000).

The Top 10 of the Billboard 200:

1. Adele, 25 *8 weeks*
2. Justin Bieber, Purpose
3. Megadeth, Dystopia *new*
4. Twenty One Pilots, Blurryface
