Adele - 21: Best Selling Album of 21st Century

The Official Chart Company have today announced that Adele's mind-blowingly successful album, 21, has now become the biggest selling album of the 21st Century in the UK. The album is this week spending its 45th consecutive week in the Top 10 after shifting 61,274 copies - this means the sales total now stands at 3,418,131; this sees it pass Amy Winehouse's 'Back To Black'. However, the most impressive fact is that its already the UK's 11th biggest selling album of all-time and is the second biggest selling album by a female artist (in the UK), behind Madonna's 'Immaculate Collection'. After less than 12 months, and with Christmas/New Year to come, I think it's safe to say she's smashed it.
