Adele's 21 6m claim LIST
Article quoted stated it had sold "just shy of 6 million". It is clearly UNDER NOT AT 6m.
We know it is certified for 5.1m sales ie 17x platinum.
ABBA Gold is certified 18x platinum ie 5.4m -- (Please Note -- 'ABBA Gold' got a 19th UK Platinum Award on Monday 10th August 2020. That is for UK Sales of 5,700,000. It has sold around 85,000 since then. Of which over 40,000 Sales, have been in 2021. Adele's '21' remains on 17 UK Platinum Awards. Its UK Sales, are estimated, at 5,200,000 to 5,250,000. Nowhere near, either 'Gold', or 'Sgt Pepper', which got its 18th UK Platinum Award, on Monday 10th August 2020. 'Greatest Hits' (One), by Queen, got its 22nd UK Platinum Award, on that same day). The 'Keeper' of this Page, really ought not to be so keen, to repeat the mistakes of the Official Charts Company. They make a lot of errors. Which Wikipedia copies, as if they are 100% Facts. No research is ever done, to check, on the accuracy, of what the Official Charts Company says. 81.103.92.196 (talk) 04:36, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
These are OFFICIAL SALES.
"Just shy of 6 million" is under 6m and not precise. Coachtripfan (talk) 12:21, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
