AceShowbiz - As predicted, Adele's "25" dominates Billboard 200 with another record-breaking sales. In its second week, the album collects 1.18 million equivalent album units that include 1.11 million in pure album sales, according to Nielsen Music.

Adele's "25" becomes the first album since Nielsen began tracking sales data in 1991 to sell more than one million copies in two different weeks. Last week, the project opened at No. 1 with a jaw-dropping 3.48 million units, including 3.38 million in traditional album sales.

Also a non mover, Justin Bieber follows miles behind Adele as his former No. 1 set "Purpose" spends a second week at No. 2 with 211,000 units. Pentatonix's holiday album "That's Christmas to Me" rises to No. 3 from last week's No. 6 with 94,000 units.

At No. 4 is One Direction's "Made in the A.M.", which falls one rung with additional 82,000. Taylor Swift's "1989" returns to this week's top 10, sitting at No. 5 with 60,000 thanks in part to discount in the iTunes Store.

The Weeknd's "Beauty Behind the Madness" slips from No. 5 to No. 6 with 60,000. Also benefiting from the iTunes Store discounts, Carrie Underwood's "Storyteller" and Fetty Wap's self-titled debut effort jump to No. 7 and No. 8 with 48,000 and 47,000 respectively.

Closing out the top 10 are Michael Buble's "Christmas", which soars to No. 9 from last week's No. 28 with 41,000, and the "Now 56" compilation that rises two rungs to No. 10 with 40,000. The former album was originally released in 2011 and frequently returns to the region during the holiday season. Upon its arrival, "Christmas" landed at the chart's No. 1 and spent 5 weeks there.
