Here at Absolute Radio we know that you, our listeners, love your music.
That's why we got you to vote in our poll of the Best Albums of All
Time. And blimey, you guys put together a stunning top 100 albums!
Adele's second offering 21 just scraped into the top 50, despite
surpassing album sales of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon in little
over a year. The 1973 Pink Floyd classic was voted by you to be your
favourite album of all time! The 'Someone Like You,' singer has sold an
astonishing 4.14 million copies in the UK, overtaking Pink Floyd's 4.11
million to date, yet it only ranked at number 45 in the survey, which
also saw the Stone Roses make the top 5 in the year of their big
reunion.
Absolute Radio's new presenter Andy Bush revealed The Top 100 albums on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday 2012. He says 'There’s
no doubt Adele has enjoyed huge success with 21, and it's great for
British music, but perhaps it just goes to show, it still has a long way
to go before it can claim true 'classic' status among music lovers.'
