Adele's '21' Is 2012's Biggest Selling Album So Far, Gotye Has The Highest Selling Digital Single. Despite being released in January 2011, Adele's 21 is the only album that has sold more that one million copies this year. At the midway point in 2012, Adele's sophomore album is the year's biggest seller in the U.S. 21 has sold 3.69 million copies according to Nielsen SoundScan; the only other album to come close to Adele's sales is Lionel Richie, whose album Tuskegee sold 912,000 copies.

Meanwhile, "Somebody That I Used to Know," the hit single by Gotye, has sold 5.5 million copies, making it the biggest of the year so far in the States. Adele has had a tremendous year already, both professionally and personally. Not only did 21 spend 24 nonconsecutive weeks atop the U.S. albums chart, but the British songstress recently announced that she's expecting her first child with boyfriend Simon Konecki. Gotye's year hasn't been too shabby either. It also hit No. 1 in New Zealand, Ireland, and Austria. Check out some of our other favorite "Somebody That I Used to Know" covers below.
