It was only a matter of time. Adele's '21' has toppled yet another classic album as it climbs the Top Ten best selling albums in the UK - ever.

Now the fifth best-selling album in the UK of all time, today (3 May, 2012) Adele has outsold Michael Jackson's 1982 classic, 'Thriller'. Adele's album is currently still inside the UK Top Ten and selling strongly, but is now hot on the heels of Oasis' 1995 classic, '(What's The Story) Morning Glory' - and it surely only months before the Gallagher brothers are outsold by this unrelenting chart success.

So, with another notch on Adele's career bedpost, check out how things now stand in the UK's Top Ten best selling album's list...
