Eminem and Beatles most popular artists of the decade

Posted on December 10th, 2009 by ecthompson

The Fab Five… sounds better than the Fab Four, don’t you think? Of course, there were only four Beatles.

Eminem sold more CDs than anyone else in this decade.

From RS:

Over three decades after their breakup, the Beatles still released the top-selling album of the 2000s. The Fab Four’s greatest hits compilation 1 sold over 11,448,000 copies since its release in November 2000 according to Nielsen SoundScan’s decade-end sales numbers. Eminem was the 2000s’ top-selling artist with 32.2 million combined in sales, plus two albums in the decade’s Top 10: The Marshall Mathers LP was fourth with 10,195,000 sold and Eminem Show was fifth with 9,789,000. Slim Shady edged out the Fab Four for the distinction of the decade’s top-seller as the Beatles claimed Number Two with 30 million. (more…)

So, what do you think?

    The original Vanilla Ice could at least sort of carry a tune. Vanilla Ice II can't even do that.

    I can't believe that Vanilla Ice II sold so many CDs. Talk about a talentless hack.
