Adele Ties With The Beatles For Top Singles And Albums In The UK Charts!

2/21/2011 8:00 AM ET | Filed under: Anglophilia • Music Minute • Adele

Congratulations are in order!

Adele became the first living artist since The Beatles to achieve the feat of having two Top 5 hits in both the Official Singles Chart And Official Albums Chart in the UK.

The last time this was achieved was when The Beatles held the same record on December 12, 1964.

FABOOSH! We love your new album, 21, and ALL the songs!!!

Get it, gurl!! You deserve it, boo!

I'm just proud that her little low key performance at the Brit awards managed to get her to number on the singles chart without being over hyped and over publicized like she who will not be named. I used to think Adele was over hyped but with this album she upped her game and I'm in love.

Yeah, and Bieber is the next Jimi Hendrix. Quit comparing this horsesh*t to real music that actually has integrity.

Miley Cyrus Insists Alcohol Is 'Way More Dangerous' Than Weed! Shares Her New Priorities As An Adult & Artist!

Perhaps Amanda Bynes would have been better off giving Miley Cyrus her bong!

The We Can’t Stop singer interviewed with Rolling Stone magazine for their July 4th issue, and revealed her fairly liberal thoughts on drugs and alcohol.

Given her stoner reputation, we’re not totally surprised. Though, when asked to clarify her penchant for weed, she said:

"You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes... I did a song with Snoop Dogg called 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,' so people can put it together for themselves."

That sounds fairly straightforward to us. Mileybird then went ahead to state that she thinks there are things much, much worse than a little bit of the green stuff:

"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana -- people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care... I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."

She added:

"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."

Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...

As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
