      Adele I want to start by saying that your Album has made a lot of good impressions.

It overtook the late Amy Winehouse's Back To Black, which landed the record a little over three months ago.

The new record of 3.4 million sales was confirmed yesterday by the Official Charts Company.

Amy's album took five years to get to its present 3.3 million sales level, and its success was partly due to the further sales boost following her death in July.
