The Top 20 biggest selling albums of 2011 revealed!
The BPI have released the Official Charts Company's sales data revealing the top selling albums of 2011.
Last year was a bumper year for British music with Adele’s ‘21’ being the biggest selling album of 2011 by far ending the year with nearly 3.8m copies sold – more than double the 1.8m sales achieved by 2010’s top album, Take That’s ‘Progress’. ‘21’ became the highest-selling album of the 21st Century in December just 10 months after its initial release, achieving more sales in a single calendar year than any other album in British chart history.
2011 ended with Adele’s debut album, ‘19’, in fourth place, alongside Top 10 placings for Coldplay’s ‘Mylo Xyloto’ (5), Jessie J’s ‘Who You Are’ (8) and Ed Sheeran’s ‘+’ (9).
“Led by Adele, Jessie J, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and others, records by British artists in 2011 achieved both critical and commercial success both at home and around the world,” said BPI chairman Tony Wadsworth. “But the challenge of sustaining this performance against a backdrop of chronic piracy means that Government action remains absolutely crucial for British artists and their labels.”
Amy Winehouse’s posthumous third album, ‘Lioness: Hidden Treasures’ finished just outside the Top 10 at Number 11 with over 638,000 copies sold, while former X Factor contestant and Xtra Factor host Olly Murs’ second album, ‘In Case You Didn’t Know’ is at 12 having sold over 597,000.
The full Top 20 is as follows:
Top 20 Albums Of 2011

I think it may be shipped?  Who knows? I am confident in the figure I quoted a few posts ago 3,810,780 which is derived from the total for 2011 you quote plus the 38380 she sold first official week of 2012 in the UK.

I dont think anybody can predict where this album will end up saleswise. It just keeps surpassing all expectations. Plus she's dominating in so many countries.
