Adele's '21' named Amazon's best-selling album of all time

Music superstar Adele has landed a new honour thanks to online retailer Amazon after her record-breaking album, ’21’, has been named its best-selling album ever.

“After just 2 albums the star has achieved such remarkable success in the business” said music journalist Mark Boardman.
