After an award winning performance at the recent MTV Video Music Awards, Adele's Someone Like You rockets up the Billboard Hot 100 to hit the coveted #1 position.

This makes two out of two for Adele, as Someone Like You follows Rolling In The Deep, which spent seven weeks at the top spot.

According to Billboard.com:

"Like" leaps 11-1 on Digital Songs with 275,000 downloads sold (up 191%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. On Radio Songs, the track blasts 42-19 with 46 million all-format audience impressions (up 59%), according to Nielsen BDS.

"Deep," which won Adele three trophies at the VMAs, and "Like" appear on the singer/songwriter's sophomore album "21," which, with 3.3 million copies sold in the U.S. since its February release, ranks as 2011's top-selling set.

"Like" dethrones Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger," featuring Christina Aguilera (1-2), after the latter track ruled the Hot 100 for a week. While "Jagger" slips 1-3 on Digital Songs (207,000, down 5%), it jumps into the top 10 (11-8) on Radio Songs (86 million, up 22%).
Way to knock 'em out girl. Congratulations again. For the full article read here.
