In doing so, "21" becomes the 21st album to shift 10 million since the firm began tracking data in 1991.

Work that numerology, Miss Adkins

And to add to that, Adam (UTR) tweeted that it's also been released for 21 months.

It's been exciting watching this album climb and break almost every record along the way. I wonder how much higher it can go. I don't think another 2-3 million over the years is out of the question.

If turning tables was released I think this would've been passing 11 million this holiday season

[when the pawn...]

The success story of the new millenium.

I think it's not too late to release turning tables. They can also release Don't You Remember to country radio.

[llires]

I live for this album. OMG.
Don't You Remember is so great, Turning Tables too.

[Pink Pvssy]

I wonder why they released Rumour Has It instead of Turning Tables or Don't You Remember. Rumour Has It has no mainstream appeal

They didn't release "Rumour Has It". It became a hit because radio jumped on it on their own.

I see. So radio has really bad taste in music :) I hope radio picks up Turning Tables or Don't You Remember Me.

I think turning tables is the only song on the record left with tons of chart appeal. Don't you remember is a good song but I think turning tables would be a hot ac / ac smash and a pop hit and even get minor rhy play. The song has already sold 700k

Billboard announced RHI as a single though (twice I think; once before they switched to Set Fire and again after SF's run). That's probably all it took for radio to latch on, even when it was never actively serviced.

[SHOOTER]

I'm still disappointed I never got a RHI video; that's all I wanted. *sigh*

[Caviar]

I'm still pissed TT was never released. Third best song on the album.

21 has sold over 25 million copies worldwide now and the DVD has sold almost 3 million worldwide!

ADELE’S 21 SURPASSES 10 MILLION SALES IN THE U.S.

25 MILLION COPIES OF 21 SOLD WORLDWIDE

OVER 2 MILLION ‘SKYFALL’ SINGLES SOLD WORLDWIDE

(November 28, 2012; Columbia Records; New York, NY) – Adele’s critically acclaimed sophomore album 21 has reached yet another momentous milestone this week, surpassing 10 million albums sold in the U.S. This sales achievement earns Adele, and 21, Diamond Certification by the RIAA. Adele is the only British or European female artist in history to earn this certification. Adele is also the only British or European artist ever to earn Diamond Certification in less than 2 years from release. 21 also has the distinction of being the only single disc released over the last decade to reach Diamond Certification in less than 2 years (a feat which hasn’t happened since 2000). "What an incredible honour," Adele exclaimed, "a huge, huge thank you to my American fans for embracing this record on such a massive level."

21 has achieved global success with 25 million albums sold worldwide. In her native UK, 21 has sold an incredible 4.5 million copies. Adele’s latest single “Skyfall” is the official theme song to the 007 feature film Skyfall™. Released last month on the 50th anniversary of the legendary film franchise, “Skyfall” has sold over 2 million copies worldwide, and the film has gone on to generate the biggest opening ever for a 007 movie. This week Adele Live At Royal Albert Hall DVD surpasses 1 million copies sold in the U.S., with nearly 3 million copies sold worldwide. The last time a music DVD sold 1 million copies in a single year was 2005.

What an incredible era for this incredible woman. So happy for her. I still listen to 21.

[Philippe]

Never ever thought another album would be able to sell that 25+ WW.

I put her DVD in while cleaning up the house yesterday. It is amazing. Wish she had a new CD coming out now.

[Caviar]

TT live is breathtaking!

I had always assumed it was. “Turning Tables” was the first song I heard by Adele (that I know of), through Gwyneth Paltrow’s version on Glee. Even though I hate Paltrow, I loved that song, looked it up, and became an Adele fan. :lol: Probably my favorite on the album after "Rolling in the Deep."

If she's not going to have another album in several years, maybe they will release it? I hope so, but I'm sure most of the world has heard it already from those album numbers. :o

[SuperTrouper]

This week iTunes store started operating in a couple of new markets, including Turkey, and "Skyfall" immediately went #1, with "Rolling in the Deep", "Someone Like You" and "Set Fire to the Rain" in the top 10 all at the same time

She's a true international phenomenon.

[Mike]

Adele scored a nod in Pop Solo Performance for SFTTR (live). Kind of shocked that the DVD is nowhere to be seen based on the critical acclaim AND that fact that it's the best selling music DVD of the past few years.

Britney Spears didnt sell 10 M copies with Oops ??

Unofficially if you add in the sales from Columbia House, BMG, and other music club services.

[ificanthaveyou]

I don't understand why TT wasn't just tossed out as a single? It would have easily prolonged the era and sold on its own.

[Pink Pvssy]

I think radio stations are starting to play it. I've heard it 4x yesterday. Not sure if it's the same in the US

[SuperTrouper]

FUCK YEAH "Skyfall" is deemed eligible for Oscar nomination! It was feared that the sampling of the original Bond tune might be against the rules. But Academy accepted it. I'll be pissed if she doesn't get this!

[ListenToItTwice]

^ A lot of experts think that the new song written for the Les Mis film is the favorite.. But this could be Adele's one chance at an Oscar.. She deserves it.
