Great to see Amon Amarth in the top 40. Edit : and on the Sales chart AKA the real chart, they got to number 23. May viking metal continue to pillage the charts.

Adele's 19 notches 200 weeks in the Top 100, her second album to do so. The only other artists to achieve this feat are: Michael Jackson (3 albums), Dire Straits (3 albums), Guns 'n' Roses, Simon & Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac, REM, Queen, and The Beatles.

Beatles would have done it more often but there was not an official Top 100 album chart in the 1960s. You are not comparing like with like.

Very true, that's why I keep track of equivalents for Top 10, Top 20 etc. Effectively for the Top 100 it's not really a level playing field I agree. But I'm just stating the fact. Glad you pointed this out though - I try to stay neutral.
