An enormous congratulations is in order for Britain's soul diva as Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" ascends from the runner-up spot to take the number one space on the Billboard Hot 100. This marks the first time a solo female artist from the UK holds the number one spots on both the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 since Leona Lewis achieved it in April 2008, and only the second solo female artist from the UK in British history.
The song has racked up massive airplay increases this week and outsold the juggernaut that is Katy Perry's "E.T." by nearly 60,000 more digital downloads with 294,000. The singer will also likely get a boost this week as the hit show Glee covered the song this past week. Interestingly enough, "Rolling In The Deep"'s ascent to the top spot makes the song more successful in the US charts as opposed to the UK, where the song stalled at number two.
