Prince sold more albums than anyone in 2016, even AdeleLUCAS JACKSON/REUTERS Prince sold over two million albums in 2016. Following Prince's shock death last April, fans paid their respects in the most appropriate way: by buying his albums and listening to his music. The Purple One sold more albums than any other artist in 2016, Billboard reports. His 2.23 million album haul even edged out chart-topping megastar Adele, who sold 2.21 million. Two albums of new material and a remastered version of Purple Rain featuring previously unreleased material are also due for release later this year.
