Adele's '21' Seventh On the UK’s All-time Biggest Selling albums chart

Adele wins Brit Awards

  The Official Charts Company has revealed Adele’s 21 album is currently number seven on the UK’s all-time biggest selling albums chart. The news comes just three weeks after the London-born singer’s 2011 second album overtook sales of Michael Jackson’s Bad.

  21 has now sold over 4,142,000 copies in the UK, making it the seventh biggest-selling album of all-time. However, with just 12,000 sales separating 21 from the Number 6 album, Dire Straits’ 1985 long player Brothers In Arms, Adele  could easily overtake the British rockers by the end of this week.

1. GREATEST HITS – QUEEN 5,864,000
2. SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND – THE BEATLES 5,045,000
3. GOLD: GREATEST HITS – ABBA - 4,992,000
