Adele's album 21 went to number one in the official UK albums chart

Adele says she wasn't expecting her second album, 21, to be so commercially successful after it sold more than 200,000 copies in its first week.

The singer, 22, said she was "over the moon" that her album has topped the official UK album chart.

Her debut album also returned to the top five. She also scored three tracks in the official top 40 singles chart.

"I'm so chuffed. I was really anxious," she said.

On top of the success of Adele's new music, her first album, 19, is now number four in the chart.

"I wasn't expecting this. I wasn't expecting an eighth of what's happened," she said.

"There's no other feeling like doing well from where you're from. It's the most amazing feeling."

21 shifted 100,000 copies in its first two days on sale according to the Official Charts Company. That was more than the rest of the top 10 combined.

"Some people have come back with second records and no-ones liked them so I feel like the best blagger in the world."
