Adele's album '21' is on course of making history after spending its 118th consecutive week in the top 40 of the Billboard 200 album chart, according to Billboard.
The 25-year-old singer's hit album was released more than two years ago in January 2011 and is now approaching the chart record set by Shania Twain with her 1997 album 'Come On Over' which remained in the list for 151 weeks, the Huffington Post reported.
Taylor Swift's debut self-titled album stayed 126 weeks in the top 40 and Nickelback's 2005 album, 'All the Right Reasons' was there for 122 weeks.
'21' debuted at top spot on the Billboard 200 and has been certified diamond; it also won six Grammy awards, including Album of the Year, as well as Record of the Year and Song of the Year for 'Rolling in the Deep.
