Adele tops the list of biggest selling entertainment products of 2011, according to Official Charts data.

Adele sold the most of any entertainment product - which includes video, music and game - this year with a whopping 3.9 million sales of her album 21.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare came in at number 2, but not even close to Adele's 21 with 2.8 million sales, 1.1 million sales behind the chart-topping album of 2011.

Christmas, Michael Buble's album sold 1.3 millon copies so is number 8 on the list, behind the likes of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2 (selling 2.5 million and 2.1 million respectively at numbers 3 and 5), and The King's Speech (at number 7, selling 1.9 million).

Bruno Mars was number 9 with his album Doo-Wops and Hooligans also selling 1.3 million copies.

Adele's previous album 19 climbed the charts after her success with 21, selling 1.3 million copies as well, placing it at number 10.

21 has just charted at number 1 again in the UK, making it the 28th week it will have been in that position since it's release at the end of January last year. 21 has now gone 14 times platinum in the UK.

With only four musical products in the top ten at all, and Adele racking up 5.2 million sales in just two appearances is another great achievement for her.

The British songstress entered the Guinness Book of World Records in September for numerous accolades, the most impressive being that she is the only artist other than The Beatles to have two consecutive singles and albums in the top 5 of the charts at the same time ever.
