Stats: Adele's '21' Goes 15x Platinum in the UK

Euromillions

As per MusicWeek subscriber Robbie on UKMix.

Quote:

Another Platinum certification for Adele... 21 has just been awarded its fifteenth Platinum disc in the UK (source: Music Week magazine). The award will appear on the BPI website as being dated March 2 2012.

I believe this is an all time record for Platinum certifications in the UK, though of course some albums that would qualify for more than this have not been certified as such either because they don't qualify (Sgt Pepper) or because the record label failed to apply for further certifications.

Incredible.

And that book of records would sell so well that it would break another records as well.

Nobody can stop Adele.

And it will be included in Guinness books and that edition will break the record for the best selling Guinness book of all time

So again, 21 is now officially #7 on the UK all time chart.
And could very well be #6 next week already!

Nice.

She could definitely break in the top 5 very soon, but after that it'll be a tough. I think it's very possible for her to go at 2, I highly doubt 1 though. Might take her years
