She's done it again! Adele's '25' breaks another record in the UK album charts as it stops Coldplay debuting at number one for the first time EVER
For 15 years they've dominated the music charts.
But Coldplay's record breaking streak came to an abrupt end on Friday as their new album, A Head Full Of Dreams, failed to topple Adele's 25 from the top spot in this week's UK Official Albums Chart.
It is the band's first album to fail to debut at number one.

She's on a roll! Coldplay's new album, A Head Full Of Dreams, failed to topple 27-year-old Adele's album 25 from the top spot in this week's Official Albums Chart
But whilst it must have come as a blow to the Chris Martin-fronted band, they did manage to break a personal record, with their strongest opening week since 2008's Viva La Vida.
A Head Full Of Dreams racked up a whopping 236,000 sales in the week, but the figures paled in comparison to Adele's, who maintained a third week in the top spot by shifting 354,000 albums.
The album's continued success means the 27-year-old has broken yet another record, generating the highest selling figures for a number one album in its third week in the top spot.

Adele's 25 overtook Take That's 2008 album The Circus, which landed 382,000 sales in its third week at number one.
And that isn't the only record Adele broke on Friday, with 25 selling more than five million copies in America.
According to Nielson music it is the first album to sell more than five million copies in a calendar year since her previous album, 21, was released in 2011.
It is now the 11th album released since 2005 to sell five million copies.
