Adele’s ’21′ surpassed 10 million copies in US retail sales this week and earlier today, the diva was awarded with a special honor. Acknowledging shipments exceeding 10 million copies, the RIAA has officially certified ’21′ 10x platinum, which is commonly known as diamond status.

Adele finally did it! After ruling the Billboard 200 throughout 2011 and a large portion of 2012, the British singer’s ’21′ album has topped the 10 million sales mark in the US and earned her a place in history among the best-selling artists of the last 20 years.
