AceShowbiz - Adele remains at the top of Billboard 200. The British beauty's latest album "25" is now spending its 10th non-consecutive week at No. 1 with 100,000 equivalent album units collected in the week ending February 25, reports Nielsen Music. That number includes 81,000 copies in pure album sales.

Billboard notes that "25" is only the fifth album released since 2000 to have spent at least 10 weeks at the top slot. The previous titles to do so were Taylor Swift's "1989" (11 weeks), the "Frozen (2013)" soundtrack (13 weeks), Adele's other massively successful set "21" (24 weeks) and Swift's "Fearless" (11 weeks).

Next on Billboard 200 is Rihanna's former first placer, "Anti", which rises one rung to No. 2 with 80,000. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber's "Purpose" drops from last week's No. 2 to this week's No. 3 with 63,000.

Yo Gotti's "The Art of Hustle" is the only newcomer in the top 10. It gives the rapper his highest-charting album yet as it opens at No. 4 with 61,000, including 45,000 in pure album sales. His previous release, 2013's "I Am", debuted and peaked at No. 7 with 47,000.

The rest of the top 10 are made up of Chris Stapleton's "Traveller", The Weeknd's "Beauty Behind the Madness" and Twenty One Pilots' "Blurryface", which all stay at No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7 with 52,000, 41,000 and 39,000 units respectively.

Joey + Rory's "Hymns" falls from No. 4 to No. 8 with 37,000 in its second week. Kevin Gates' "Islah" jumps two rungs to No. 9 with 32,000. Closing out the top 10 is Bryson Tiller's "T R A P S O U L" that sells another 31,000 units.
