I love her and everything but '21' would not be anywhere near my list of top 10 albums of all time, so that's why 'sad'

They are all great albums, but only numbers 1,2 and 7 would be anywhere near my top ten.

it's technically #1 since greatest hits aren't real albums

I'm not Adele's biggest fan but I don't get all the hate she gets (assumably because she's everywhere and popular)..I can still see she's an incredibly talented person and will be one of the modern day greats..proud she's British really.

Not that any of you are the haters but I had nowhere else to say it

I don't even like any of those albums
The only reason Gaga and Madonna etc are not on there is because those albums are from the days when no one knew how how to download illegally, or maybe didnt even have computers :s I dont even know when computers were invented, I always assumed it was the early 90's but I think that's wrong

It always amazes me how little is actually sold. 3 - 6 million is a lot, but if you think how many people are in our country, it seems such a small figure.
