Calm down everyone, 'Back To Black' has now outsold James Blunt's 'Back To Bedlam'

  • August 15, 2011
  • Brad O'Mance

According to Music Week, Amy Winehouse's 'Back to Black' has overtaken James Blunt's similarly-titled 'Back To Bedlam' as the biggest selling album of the 21st century so far.

At Number One this week selling 43,726 copies, total sales for 'Back to Black' now stand at 3,248,816. This puts Amy ahead of 'Back To Bedlam', which has sold 3,240,815.

Both albums will likely be overtaken in due course by the we'd‑say-quite-popular '21' by Adele, which spends its 29th con­sec­ut­ive week in the top 2 of the albums chart, and has amassed sales of 2,874,922 since its release in January.

Adele's '21' also remains 'atop' the US Billboard albums chart this week.
