Adele's 21 Named UK's Biggest-Selling LP Of 21st Century
Adele's record-breaking album 21 has been named as the UK's biggest-selling LP of the 21st Century - overtaking the late Amy Winehouse's Back To Black.
The 23-year old's sophomore record, which boasts of hits Someone Like You and Rolling In The Deep, has shifted a cool 3.4million copies since its release in January, according to the Official Charts Company.
21 previously spent eighteen weeks at No.1 in the UK's Official Album Chart, totalling 45 weeks in the top ten, as well as Adele's album being named as the biggest-selling LP in the world this year.

She added: "I made the record and you've made it what it's become."
