Adele is continuing her reign over the albums chart by topping the Billboard 200 with 25 for the 10th week.


The Hello star holds on to the number one spot with her third studio album, making it only the fifth record since 2000 to maintain the title for 10 weeks. Adele previously achieved the feat with her last release, 21, while the Frozen soundtrack and Taylor Swift's 1989 and Fearless have also earned mentions in the record books.


Coming in at number two is Rihanna's Anti, while Justin Bieber's Purpose takes the third spot.


Meanwhile, rapper Yo Gotti scores his highest charting album with The Art of the Hustle at number four, and Chris Stapleton's Traveller closes out the new top five.
