Adele's 'Hello' rules the Global Track Chart easily for a second week

than 3 million copies in its first week. The Album comes out November
20. The current record-holder is Japanese pop star Hikaru Utada, whose
Album 'Distance' was released on March 28, 2001 and sold 3,002,720
copies in its first week, according to Oricon.
Last week's second big debut, Justin Bieber's 'Sorry', slides down one

with 384,000 points. It was her biggest hit so far and now 'Focus',
the first sign from her upcoming album, shoots at no.6 globally with
215,000 points. The biggest hit of 2015, 'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson

American singer, songwriter, actress and model Demetria Devonne 'Demi' Lovato is the clear winner on this week's Global Album Chart. Her fifth studio album 'Confident' rockets to the hot seat with 186,000 sales. The biggest part of it comes from the USA with 76,600 copies, but the set sold also extraordinarily in Latin America, especially Brazil and Mexico.
