Adele secured the top-selling album and track of the year in the US in 2011.

'21' has remained in the US Billboard album chart's top ten since it was released in March last year.

'Rolling In The Deep' also sold 5.8million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Other artists whose records sold well in 2011 included Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' and 'Tha Carter IV' by Lil' Wayne.
