The 'Someone Like You' singer's record has also moved back up the Billboard 200 chart taking the number two spot once again this week behind Carrie Underwood's 'Blown Away'.
The album sold 101,000 copies alone in the past seven days and is only the 29th album since 1991 to reach the historic landmark.
