It seemed like a record that couldn’t be broken: when The Beatles released their album Please Please Me in 1963, it held onto one of the Top 10 slots on the British album chart for 62 whole weeks, the longest run ever for a debut album.
That was then. As of this week, the Scottish singer Emeli Sandé has broken that record, according to the U.K.’s Official Charts Company. Her debut album Our Version of Events, the best-selling album of 2012 in the U.K. (1.82 million copies), has been in the top 10 since February of 2012—or, 63 weeks.
