Since it's release in the UK, 21 has been KILLING it on the charts, maintaining it's hold on the #1 spot for the second week in a row. It took only four days for the album to go Platinum and it's not showing signs of stopping. Debut single, "Rolling In The Deep" peaked at #1 in five countries and went Top 5 in six countries, including her native UK where the single peaked at #2. Back in America, the single is doing fairly well, becoming Adele's second single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, coming in at #68. The song also hit the Top 25 on the Billboard US Adult Pop Songs chart and #37 on the Billboard Rock Songs chart.
