Details on Adele's Ablum and Single Success

"Adele has become the first artist since the Beatles to have two top five singles and two top five albums in the charts at the same time. Buoyed by her rendition at last week's Brit awards, the singer's newest single, Someone Like You, jumped 46 spots to become her first No 1 hit. That song joins Rolling in the Deep, which sits at No 4; on the album charts, Adele's first two LPs – 21 and 19 – are also at No 1 and No 4 respectively.
The last time an artist had top five hits on both charts, Sir Alec Douglas-Home was prime minister. It was January 1964: Britain and America were in the throes of Beatlemania, with I Want to Hold Your Hand and She Loves You filling the airwaves while the albums With the Beatles and Please Please Me flew off the shelves."
