More about: Adele
The top 40 of the UK's best selling albums of the last decade has been unveiled by the Official Charts company. Check it out below.
It's not surprising that Adele sits at the top of the list with 21, which was released in 2011 and spent a massive 23 weeks at the top of the charts, and has since sold over 4 million copies.
Coming in just under her is Take That's Progress, with almost half of Adele's sales at just over 2 million, and below them is Michael Buble with his infamous 2011 christmas album. Our Version of Events by soul singer Emeli Sande makes No.4, and Ed Sheeran's X sits at No.5, despite only being a few months old in comparison to the other top hitters.
Two of Mumford & Sons albums make the list, but Sigh No More comes out on top at No.14, ahead of Babel at No.22. Olly Murs and One Direction have three albums in there, whilst Ed Sheeran, Adele, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga and P!nk each have two.
