Adele’s ’25’ Was 2015’s Biggest Selling Album

Notching up more than two million sales in just six weeks...

Adele's '25' has been named the biggest selling album of 2015 in the UK.

The record was released in mid-November (Clash review HERE), meaning that the Tottenham singer only had six weeks to overtake her rivals.

Adele needn't have worried, though – '25' sold 2.496 million copies to blaze to the top of the year-long charts.

Curiously, Ed Sheeran sits in second place with 'X'. Released in 2014, the record was given a new lease of life by those epic Wembley shows with 'X' selling over 900,000 copies.
