Adele took home every accolade under the sun for her blockbuster sophomore album 21, but she just earned another: The young songstress' album was just certified Diamond, meaning it has sold 10x million copies. The last album to sell 10 million in under two years was 'N Sync's No Strings Attached, which came out in 2000. Wow. You're old.
This got me thinking: There aren't too many female solo acts who've sold 10x million copies of a single album. How do they stack up in quality?

10. Mariah Carey, Daydream (1995)
