Emeli SandÃ© has made chart history after spending the most consecutive weeks in the UK Top 10 with a debut album.

Our Version of Events, which was released in February last year and became the biggest-selling album of 2012, has smashed a record held by The Beatles for nearly 50 years.

The album has not left the Top 10 since its release, totalling 63 weeks. The Beatles' debut Please Please Me previously spent 62 weeks inside the Top 10 between its release in 1963 and 1964.

Our Version of Events, which sits at number five this week, has sold 1.82 million copies in the UK to date, spending a total of ten weeks at number one.

It has also broken the 100,000 weekly sales barrier on three separate occasions and is currently the biggest selling album of 2013, having shifted 429,000 copies since January.

SandÃ© told the Official Charts Company: "I'm completely lost for words and this is something I could only have dreamed of. The Beatles are the greatest band of all time and their legacy lives on and continues to inspire all of us that make music.

"I'm so happy that so many people have connected with the stories and the songs on the record, this really is our version of events now.

"I'd like to say thank you to everyone that has bought, played or shared my music in the last year, without your support this would never have been possible."
