Top 20 Best selling Singles and Albums


Spyke

2011 was the biggest year for singles sales in Official Chart History. For the first time since Peter Kay set off to Amarillo and Shayne Ward discovered his Goal in 2005 we've had multiple million sellers within the calendar year. This year both Adele's Someone Like You and Maroon 5 & Christina Aguilera's Moves Like Jagger hit the lucrative target become the UK's 106th and 110th million sellers (Love The Way You Lie, Just The Way You Are and Only Girl (In The World) crossed the mark between them). Here's a full run down of 2011's biggest sellers. Album wise Adele seems to be single-handedly (just) keeping the market alive!
