21. Shania had the benefit of albums selling well in the 90's.

They are both close, but I think 21 was bigger

I was wondering about how album sales were for this decade were stacking up. A little glimpse into the 2010s decade-end charts, this and Billboard's all-time chart updates.

For a country act to hit that hard? I gotta give it to Shania.
But Adele obviously hit hard in such a short period of time. not easy.

Only a few albums ever sell that much. The 1990s definitely had more (Come On Over, The Bodyguard, Jagged Little Pill, Dangerous, Music Box, Falling Into You, The Immaculate Collection, etc). For 21 to do it in the 2010s era where albums are lucky to sell one million does put it into perspective.
Plus in Billboard's decade-end album chart for the 1990s, Come On Over ranked third (behind Jagged Little Pill and The Bodyguard respectively). 21 is the clear number one of this decade, unless some other phenomenon occurs.

I picked Come On Over [because I find Adele irritating] because though Rolling In The Deep and Someone Like You were monster hits, Shania's songs from that album remain iconic today and aren't lowkey trash

Because they are dumb, that's it.

maybe if you actually count its sales in US as being 20 million, but even then 40 million seems a bit far-fetched.
30 million for 21 back in october was also a bit farfetched, but since the release of 25, 21 has sold more than 500k so 30 mill is coming very soon.
COO sold like 5 million through club sales, which had extreme discounts on albums and there's a reason nielsen doesn't account for them, so 15,6 million sold in US it is.
and COO's catalog sales are really bad, 21 is going to end up selling almost 500k in US this year. and it's at 11,4 million as we speak.
the only other major market that COO sold more than 21 is Canada, where it sold 1,95 and 21 stands at 1,5 million.
in Aus they're about the same, and in UK 21 has sold 1,5 million more than COO
21 can, like so many others already have said, only be compared to Thriller

COO sold 1.99M in music clubs.
