Meanwhile, Adele has become the first single artist in music history to lead the Billboard 200 concurrently with three Hot 100 number ones.

The singer's '21' has spent a 17th week at the top of the US album chart, while her latest single 'Set Fire To The Rain' takes pole position on the Hot 100.

The new record means that the Brit has become the first artist to have 3 songs top the Hot 100, while her album is also at number one in the Billboard 200 album chart.

'Rolling In The Deep' topped the chart last May and second single 'Someone Like You' hit top spot September 2011, with '21' being atop the album tally on both occasions.
