Adele is no longer a successful artist, she's gone super stellar.

The singer has sold 2.3million copies of her new album '25' worldwide in three days - that's about 9 copies every second. Adele's debut '21' already features in the top selling UK albums, and now it's looking likely her new record be challenging The Beatles and Queen for the top spots.

The current top 10 stands:

1. Queen, Greatest Hits, 1981

2. The Beatles, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, 1967
