As was the case in both the individual UK and US markets, Warner act Michael Buble finds himself runner-up to Adele's 21 on a global basis for 2011 as Christmas ranks second on IFPI's chart. Universal act Lady Gaga is third with Born This Way, while EMI act Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto finishes fourth.

*The Music Week link is messed up, sometimes it's broken so you need to click on it again and again.
The IFPI 2011 Report is out now, however, it cost $700 to purchase. So we're gonna have to wait until it leaks to get our most accurate 2011 sales.
It's true that Born This Way is 2nd in the Media Traffic Year End, but IFPI is the MOST accurate.
Would IFPI lie?
