Adele tho. She's still on there. Wasn't 21 like released in 2011?

21 is a massive success though. It was the best selling album in 2011 (Selling 15 million copies) and 2012 (Selling 9 million)

 

It's the best selling album of the 21st century

It's currently the 34th best selling album of all time outselling albums like Nirvana's "Nevermind", Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time", The "White Album" by the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge over Troubled Water", Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall" and many many more. 

 

That irony.

No. It's the best selling album of the 21st century in the UK. Last time I checked it hasn't outsold Baby One More Time. I think the Britney album that it outsold that you are looking for is Oops I Did It Again.

The only album released in the 21st century that is said to have sold more is "1" by the Beatles, which I usually refuse to count because it's a cheap compilation album released with it's sole purpose to force fans to buy a product they already had bought several times over.

 

"Baby One More Time" sold 24-25 Million copies, Adele is going for the 30 million right now. It outsold "Baby One More Time" over a year ago already. What is more frightening is getting close to Madonna's "Immaculate Collection" sales, and after that come the big BIG female albums like Celine Dion's "Falling Into You", Alanis Morrisette's "Jagged Little Pill" and Shania Twain's "Come On Over"

I'm seeing Beatle's "1" in the 31 millions, Baby One More Time in the 30 millions, an Eminem album in the 32 millions, Adele in the 29 millions, and Oops I Did It Again in the 24-25 millions. I see what you're saying. I'm on a different site. Technically it is the best selling album of the 21st with or without counting the Beatles "1" because the 21st century started on January 1st 2001. The Beatles "1" was released in 2000.
