In Friday's UK Album Chart, (W/E 25th February 2016), Adele's 25 returned to
No.1 for its 8th Week on top. Her No.1 Albums Weeks Total then rose to 32.
Added to her 8 No.1 Weeks on top of the Singles Chart, this gave her a 40th
Week at No.1 in the UK. She became only the 16th Act to reach 40 UK No.1
Weeks. She is the 2nd Artist, within a few Weeks, to reach 40 UK No.1 Weeks.
In the Album Chart of W/E 11th February, David Bowie had his 40th No.1 Week.
NOTE -- I've counted Evita, (1996), as a Madonna & Various Artists
Album. It was No.1 for 1 Week in early 1997. If you only regard it as
a Various Artists Album, then she has spent 29 Weeks at No.1 in the
Album Chart & 58 Weeks at No.1 over-all. But, she would still at No.6
in the List even without Evita's No.1 Week.
