It's bad when someone is able to say it "ONLY" hit 10x platinum about an album.

whaaa 
I thought it sold 1.135.000 copies in Canada? If platinum is 80K wouldn't 1.135M/80K = 14.1875.
Did I get the numbers wrong or did I calculate it wrong?

So...here's the new official top 10 of all time with an article:
http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-...ms-chart-1207/
The Official Charts Company can reveal today that Adeles 21 has overtaken Pink Floyds 1973 epic, The Dark Side Of The Moon, in the UKs all-time biggest selling albums chart. The news comes just three weeks after the London-born singers 2011 second album overtook sales of Michael Jacksons Bad.
21 has now sold over 4,142,000 copies in the UK, making it the seventh biggest-selling album of all-time. However, with just 12,000 sales separating 21 from the Number 6 album, Dire Straits 1985 long player Brothers In Arms, Adele could easily overtake the British rockers by the end of this week.
"As every week goes by, another record seems to tumble in front of Adele," comments the Official Charts Company's Managing Director, Martin Talbot. "Now, her 21 album has overtaken The Dark Side Of The Moon in the all-time biggest sellers list - and by the end of the week, it may well have overtaken Brothers In Arms, too. Then she will have Michael Jackson's Thriller in her sights. It has been an extraordinary 12 months or so for Adele, and it looks set to become even more extraordinary as the days and weeks go by."
The biggest selling albums of all-time Top 10 now stands as follows:
01 GREATEST HITS QUEEN 5,864,000
02 SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND THE BEATLES 5,045,000
03 GOLD: GREATEST HITS ABBA - 4,992,000
04 (WHAT'S THE STORY) MORNING GLORY? OASIS 4,520,000
05 THRILLER - MICHAEL JACKSON 4,272,000
06 BROTHERS IN ARMS - DIRE STRAITS 4,154,000
07 21 ADELE - 4,142,000
08 THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON - PINK FLOYD - 4,116,000
09 BAD - MICHAEL JACKSON - 3,960,000
10 GREATEST HITS II QUEEN - 3,888,000

'21' will be #2 on that list by the end of the year imo. Then it's just a matter of reigning in Mr Mercury and Co, lol.

On actual sales alone she's 14x platinum but as the certifications are based on shipped numbers she must be at least 70k shipped over sales given the weekly sales (retailers do not want to be short of stock on this album!). I reckon 1.2 million shipped for 15x platinum already.

Adele's 21, number two last week, falls to number five. Its sales are off marginally (0.60%) to 15,365 - its lowest weekly total since its release 67 weeks ago - but, as reported elsewhere, it has now surpassed Michael Jackson's Thriller to become the UK's fifth biggest selling album of all-time with cumulative sales of 4,282,629. As it now trails only Queen's Greatest Hits, The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Abba's Gold: Greatest Hits and Oasis' What's The Story Morning Glory, it is the biggest selling album ever by a solo artist.
