Singer Emeli Sande has made history by breaking a record held by legendary band Beatles' for almost 50 years.
The 26-year-old singer's album 'Our Version Of Events' spent more time in the top 10 than any other debut record after notching up for 63 consecutive weeks in the Official Album Chart, reported Daily Star.
'The Fab Four' previously held the record with their 1963 offering 'Please Please Me' which had spent 62 weeks in the top 10 in 1963 and 1964.
"It feels quite surreal. To even have your name mentioned in the same sentence as The Beatles is quite mad... For a record to stay there for so long it means that people have connected with it and that's how I'm kind of enjoying and celebrating this record," Sande said.
