Beatles and Eminem biggest US sellers in the 2000s
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 16 December 2009
While, as previously reported, Nsync had the best selling artist album in the US this decade, when you allow compilations into the mix, The Beatles top the chart, having shifted over eleven million of their main greatest hits compo over the last ten years. So well done them. Will Nsync’s greatest hits be the best selling album of the 2040s? No.
In terms of total album sales for the decade, stats from US chart counters Nielsen say Eminem has had the most success, selling two million more records overall than The Beatles, who come second place in that chart. But will Eminem’s best of compilations and re-releases make him the second best selling artist of the 2040s? Well, they might.
