Adele's 21 has overtaken Oasis' (What's The Story) Morning Glory? in order to become the fourth best selling UK album of all time.

It's the latest in a long list of achievements for the album, which hit fifth place on the chart earlier this year, beating Michael Jackson's Thriller in order to do so.

21 has now sold 4,562,000 copies, which puts it firmly ahead of Morning Glory? as the Oasis album only sold 4,555,000.

The top three is made up of Queen's Greatest Hits at number one, followed by The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in second place and ABBA's Gold: Greatest Hits in spot number three.

We're sure Noel Gallagher will be pleased to hear the news, as he earlier said that he didn't think that Adele would last.

The former Oasis star also said that he had 'no interest' in 21 and didn't know anyone who had bought it - maybe that's now changed?

Gallagher told The Daily Mail in February, "I feel sorry for girls in the music industry. They do have a very short shelf life. For instance, Duffy: who? Gone. She was massive.

"And I don't doubt for a second that the same thing will happen to Adele."
