Billboard: Adele's 21 has shipped over 30 million copies WW
Quote:
Adele's "21" has shipped some 30 million global units, including more than 10 million in the U.S. It's a remarkable milestone for any era, but particularly so in a post-Internet landscape, when best-sellers' milestones are rarely eye-catching.
21 has sold over 10.9 million in the U.S. according to Soundscan and is probably around 30k away from 11 million, so it has undoubtedly shipped over 11 million units and should be eligible for an 11x Platinum certification.
To think how many more it could've sold if she got off her ass.
True star power.
Right? Her slayage was made 10x more hilarious by her complete indifference towards to the whole thing when other girls would kill to sell a fifth of what 21 did.
