Eminem söluhæsti tónlistarmaður áratugarins

 

Samantekt frá Soundscan hefur leitt þetta í ljós:

Em sold more than 32.2 million albums in the 2000s, edging out the Beatles to claim the title of top-selling artist...

Eminem was the only artist to place two albums on the list; his The Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem Show records landed at #4 and 5, selling 10.2 million and 9.8 million copies, respectively.

Eminem tókst semsagt að vera stærri en Bítlarnir (believe it or not) þennan áratuginn.  Annars eru listarnir þannig:

Ótrúlegur árangur hjá Black Eyed Peas að selja yfir 4,3 milljónir eintaka af laginu Boom Boom Pow.  Sér í lagi vegna þess að lagið var gefið út í mars á þessu ári og listinn var tekinn út um síðustu mánaðamót.
