21 was recently named the fifth best-selling album in UK history after overtaking Michael Jackson's Thriller by shifting 4,274,300 copies.
Queen's Greatest Hits currently holds the top spot, having sold six million copies. XL bosses hope to beat this by re-releasing 21 with new bonus tracks.
"A repackaged album is currently being discussed," a source told the Daily Star Sunday.
"It's not yet confirmed that it will feature new material or songs that didn't make the original album but it makes sense to bring it out."
21 has spent 23 weeks at number one on the UK album chart.
Adele recently claimed that she will release a new song by the end of the year.
thank the Lord for this!!!!
