Does anyone know if (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band or ABBA Gold have overtaken Adele's 21 in sales? Last time I checked, 21 was No.2 in all time British sales behind Queen's Greatest Hits, but it only manages occasional appearances in the Top 75 at the moment. Is there an updated all time chart anywhere?

I don't think 21 ever overtook any of the sales of those albums.I remember it got to #6 overtaking Dark Side during it's chart run. Since then it's hardly sold any and the others have been consistantly on chart.

The last I knew, Morning Glory was #5, Sgt Pepper 3 with Abba and Queen's greatest hits 1 & 2.
They sell a good 1/4 million a year, so are probably still ahead.
