XL will be requesting diamond Certificate for 21 before June is out, imo. (For shipped sales).

That is mighty impressive absurdly so i mean its biggest sales were almost a year after release that alone is incredible well done her

Do we really need a new thread like this, all this stuff is already posted in the adele sales appreciation thread and anyone who is remotely interested would have read it there

don't read it then dear.

Has she not left the top10 in the UK or US yet?

I'm astounded at this. I was going to say "Who the hell doesn't have this album by now?", but there's billions in the world so obviously lots of people don't. But I'm just shocked that it's still selling so well. It's a fantastic album, but I wouldn't class it as ground breaking or anything. I can't understand why so many people are buying it. Well actually I suppose I can...word spreads obviously that it's a great album. Personally I don't think it deserves this much success.

As someone else said don't read or post here on your way

for someone who thinks adele is crap, you are pretty interested, has taylor swift ever sold 9.1 million of a single album in the usa? must be all those walmarters buying albums that they dont like because everyone else is booyah

Absolutely astonishing - jaw-droppingly astonishing!

That Grammy weeks sale is just unbelievable, especially nearly a year after release!

Don't forget her target deals where they sell it for a cut price

I mean i know people need a hobby but preferably a healthy one.

The key to this album's success is perfect single choices. I bought a copy in its first week of release and haven't played it in many months. Still, major congrats - Adele will live very comfortably for a LONG time.

Remember before 21 was released how she promised to us it would be the album of the deca..... oh , wait.

Keeping it classy, I see.

Nope. 21 has never fallen out of the top ten on either the US or UK charts. Not in 16 months. Pretty incredible.

Cool facts:
Thanks to P83! Imo, you are the best for stats!

21 is the longest-running No 1 album in history in:

New Zealand - 37 wks

Ireland - 34 wks

Canada - 33 wks

Netherlands - 31 wks

It's also been No 1 for 38 wks in Belgium (it's not confirmed that is the record, but surely it has to be).

Two more weeks for Australia (32) and she will tie Dire Straits for all time record.

21 has the second longest run at #2 ever on BB200.

And holds second for most weeks in top two on BB.

Artist albums with most wks in US Top 2

54 - Thriller, Michael Jackson (37 @ No 1, 17 @ No 2)
44 - 21, Adele (23 @ No 1, 21 @ No 2)

In an era when sales are much lower due to a number of factors (especially getting it for free online)..to sell over 9 million albums in the US alone in just over a year is staggering. Diamond certification in the US in the current era is nigh on impossible and she is closing in fast on that. Theres been what four in total this century?. Whats equally remarkable is she is doing similar worldwide. 2nd most all time in Australia, 5th highest all time in UK...her sales show no signs of letting up so god knows what she will have sold by the end of this year.

There hasn't been anywhere near this dominance in the modern era. Add in cleaning up all the major awards across the world, adulation from other artists across the board, she is the benchmark for this generation in both sales and critical acclaim. Hope she continues to keep her feet on the ground and doesn't get too affected being top dog.

She's done incredibly well, and deserves all the success she gets because she is undeniably mega talented.

Her Live DVD is not exactly selling poorly in the US either

I could not have said it better!

Completely agree. It really is ridiculous what this album is doing.

That is pretty impressive by anyones standards.

Yes we do. She is a phenomenon.
