Adele, Lady Gaga, Carly Rae Jepsen dominate Amazon's best-selling lists of all time

Amazon has just revealed its best-selling CD of all time, and really the winner should not surprise you. According to the online retailer, the record that has sold the most copies is Adele's monster 2011 effort 21.

The "Someone Like You" record tops the 100-album long list, which heavily features British artists, women and musicals. Adele is followed by Susan Boyle's first post-X Factor album I Dreamed a Dream, the soundtrack to the musical Wicked and Robert Plant's 2007 album with Alison Krauss Raising Sand.

Perhaps the older-skweing blend is due to the nature of the list, which is physical CDs. But other artists in the top 10 include Mumford & Sons, Taylor Swift, Dixie Chicks and Coldplay.

Meanwhile, the reign of the women remains strong for top .mp3 albums. Lady Gaga's second studio effort Born This Way tops that Amazon list, likely due to the fact that it was sold for 99 cents on the website following its release in 2011. The .mp3 list is a little more modern, though Mumford & Sons, Adele and Coldplay also appear near the top. Other bands who have sold big digitally on Amazon include: The Lumineers, .fun and Arcade Fire, showing a slight alternative rock slant.

As for singular Amazon songs, there's just no beating those earworms. Carly Rae Jepsen's smash 2012 summer hit "Call Me Maybe" has topped the Amazon singles list, followed by Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," fun.'s "We Are Young" and The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling."
