Adele‘s “21” album has now remained at the #1 position on the Billboard 200 chart for 16 weeks.
The move puts the British soul singer ahead of Pink Floyd and The Beatles who both had albums spend 15 weeks at #1: “The Wall” (1979) and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” (1967), respectively.
Adele now holds the record for longest-running U.S. chart-topping album by a British artist.
You’ve won this round, Adele …

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters married long-time partner Laurie Durning last weekend in Southampton, N.Y.
Only six guests attended the ceremony held at the couple’s home, according to The New York Post.
Waters revealed the ceremony had taken place during an appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show this past week. It was originally believe to have been scheduled for this weekend.
Waters had announced in November that the couple planned to wed before his “The Wall” tour resumes next week in Australia.
He’s been married three times before: to Judy Trimm (1968 to 1975), Carolyne Christie (1976 to 1992) and Pricilla Phillips (1993 to 2001).
