According to the Official Charts company, Amy Winehouse's 2006 album Back to Black came in second, while another Adele album, 2015's 25, got the third slot.

Ed Sheeran's x (multiply) and ÷ (divide), James Blunt's Back to Bedlam, Leona Lewis' Spirit, Michael Buble's Crazy Love, Dido's No Angel, and David Gray's White Ladder completed the top 10.
