In a photo-finish, Adele's "21" narrowly withstands the challenge of Jason Mraz' "Love Is A Four Letter Word" to keep the U.K. album chart crown. On the singles survey, Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" bested Parlophone/EMI newcomer Conor Maynard's "Can't Say No" for a third week at the summit.

Of all the records "21" has set during its epic run, this week's is the least glorious, since it topped the new chart with sales last week of a mere 17,000, according to the Official Charts Company. That's the lowest total for a No. 1 U.K. album since the Levellers did it with 13,000 for "Zeitgeist" in 1995. Mraz's opening tally was also 17,000, finising just 44 copies below Adele's total. Mraz's last album "We Sing We Dance We Steal Things" peaked at No. 8 in the U.K. in its fourth chart week, in January 2009.
