Exactly. Since late Feb she's outsold:
- MJ's Bad (all-time classic by an all-time icon)
- Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon (all-time classic, constant catalogue seller for 40 yrs)
- Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms (all-time classic, most ubiquitous UK album of the 80s)
- MJ's Thriller (bestselling album ever worldwide, one of the most iconic albums ever)
At some point this year she will outsell Oasis' Morning Glory (classic of Britpop, most ubiquitous UK album of the 90s and which defined that generation).
Then it's down to greatest hits albums by two of the most loved groups of all time (Abba, Queen) and probably the greatest album ever made (Beatles' Sgt Pepper).
What Adele is doing with 21 is beyond historic.
