Adele reached the top despite releasing her album in the November of last year.
Adele and Ed Sheeran are the familiar names who enjoyed the UK’s biggest selling albums of 2021.
ABBA’s comeback with Voyage, Dave’s second LP We’re All Alone In This Together and Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres are some more in the Top 20 according the Official Charts Company, while Fleetwood Mac had two big sellers during the last 12 months courtesy of Rumours and their Don’t Stop compilation.
