THE BEATLES' 1 IS THE BEST SELLING ALBUM OF THE '00S

That's right: The Beatles' 1 is the best selling album of the decade with 11,448,000 copies sold since it came out in 2000. It had nothing new, just a sleek, single CD career spanning collection of songs that went to #1 either in the U.S. or U.K. Just some of the best songs of all time.

Eminem is the best selling artist of the decade, with over 32 million albums sold. Wow. His Marshall Mathers LP sold more than ten million copies. The only other albums this decade to sell more than ten million: NSYNC's No Strings Attached and Norah Jones' classic Come Away With Me.

Amazing, really, that a band that broke up 30 years before the decade started selling more records than the decade's biggest stars.
