New Order continue to climb back up a second week running again - their longest chart run (9wks) since Republic (19wks) in 1993. How did this happen????

It is pretty crazy re: Elvis. But let's not forget for Bieber even to be in that company is kudos to Justin. Kid's still broke the Beatles' and Drake's Hot 100 record in the States and just equalled Madonna's here. He became the youngest artist to achieve six No. 1 album debuts on the Billboard 200 chart, Purpose remains the biggest selling album debut by a male this year, and new fans are listening to his s---. 2015 has been a great year for Bieber.

It's really amazing. Elvis sold more than Bieber in 2015, after 38 years of his death? Elvis is the biggest in popular music. No doubts.

Poetic justice at its finest. Justin Bieber bumps Adele to #3 in the singles chart and Elvis Presley does likewise with Bieber at the album charts...
