Adele reigned supreme in 2012 — for the second year in a row.
After having 2011′s best-selling album in the United States, the singer’s 21 was the top-seller in 2012 as well.
Adele’s chart-topping reign marks the first time one album has sold the most copies two years in a row since Nielsen Soundscan began keeping track in 1991.
With 4.41 million copies sold last year, 21 beat out Taylor Swift’s Red, which sold 3.31 million.
