Another update of the top 5 after Christmas would be useful, as I wouldn't be surprised if 21 has risen 2 or 3 places in that time.

It's also quite coincidental that the next album 21 will overtake in the all time lists is the same in Ireland and the UK (Oasis WTS)

Didn't expect Michael Buble's Crazy Love to be quite a lot higher than Lady Gaga's The Fame .
I know Crazy Love did very well but I thought it would be very hard for the most recent albums (2005 and later) to do better than it, obviously excluding 21, as it had an amazing chart performance: It dominated the top 10 for over 1.5 years and was still in the top 10 in early 2010 despite being released in 2008...

I hope 21 overtakes some more albums, because it did far better on the charts than many of the albums above and broke so many records there...
