Adele Now Rolling in Cash After '21' Becomes Century's Biggest Seller

Adele's music album 21 has just become the century's biggest-selling album, overtaking Amy Winehouse's Back to Black. And by century, we mean of course "the past 11 years." But no matter.

Adele is just so happy about the whole "biggest selling album of the century" thing.

The new record of 3.4 million sales was confirmed today by the Official Charts Company.

Winehouse's album took five years to get to its present 3.3 million sales level, and its success was partly due to the further sales boost following her death in July.





Adele's 21 has not left the top 10 since its release and has been on the chart for 45 weeks. The album was given a further push in the wake of six Grammy nominations last week, including album of the year.

In a message posted on her blog over the weekend, the singer - who had an operation on her voice last month - said she was 'lost for words' at the Grammy recognition.
