    Adele topples Pink Floyd on best-selling albums list

    Adele's chart topping album '21' has overtaken Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon' in the UK's best selling records list.

    The album, which has almost single-handedly kept the UK music industry afloat for the past year is now the seventh biggest-selling album in the UK of all time, shifting 4,142,000 copies since its release in January 2011.

    If the record sells another 12,000 copies, '21' will overtake the album in sixth place - Dire Straits 'Brothers In Arms'. The album is currently No.3 in the UK album charts, so there's no reason why it won't.

    Adele recently made the Top Ten biggest earning artists in music for 2011.

    The best selling album in the UK of all time is Queen's 'Greatest Hits', having sold 5.86million copies.

    The biggest earning musicians of 2011.
