Singer Adele has become the first artist in music history to sell 3 million copies of an album in one year. The 23-year-old star released her second album 21 on January 24, 2011, and it has now reached 3 million sales making her the youngest female artist to hit the 3 million sales mark. Martin Talbot, managing director of the Official Charts Company, said: "Three million albums in a year is a simply extraordinary achievement by Adele, who is now occupying an unparalleled position in the history of British music. "In reaching such an elevated landmark so quickly, 21 has eclipsed any other album previously released in the UK - superceding even the likes of Sgt Pepper, Thriller, Dark Side Of The Moon, Brothers In Arms. "There is no questioning now that Adele has joined the ranks of British music legends."
