Congrats to Em.

No we are serious who is this

Holy **%*...when Come Away With Me dropped, she had the music world on lock.

And with No Strings Attached, that was the perfect climate to sell something like that. Eagerly awaited sophomore album by a rabid fan base, a CD purchasingpublic, and stupid young girls.

look at that top digital sales list in the last decade, all of those are no more than 2-3 years old

Even if they did still play a crutial role, I can't remember an album with more hype than any of those. Even Kanye or Jay wouldn't be ableto get Em numbers like that.

I mean Nsync had sold out stadiums filled with teenie boppers and on top of that had like more people outside of the venue then the actual event held. When TRLwas poppin they held the number one song for like 6 months straight.

What's crazy too is if you look at backstreet boys numbers> nsync.

 

[israel5ekla]

and people still say Eminem is wack.

NSYNC was HUGE for years.

Just cause he sold alot doesn't mean he ain't wack. If that's the case, Vanilla Ice > hip hop. See: To the Extreme became the fastest sellinghip hop album of all time,[19] peaking at #1 on the Billboard 200.[2 The album spent 16 weeks on the charts, and sold eleven million copies.[21] To theExtreme was the best selling hip hop album up until that time."

I retract, just read MC HAMMER SOLD 18 MILLION ON THE PLEASE HAMMER, DONT HURT EM' ALBUM. WOWOWWWWWWWWWW. 21 WEEKS @ #1. see: The album raised rap music toa new level of popularity. It was the first hip-hop album certified diamond by the RIAA for sales of over ten million.[6] It remains one of the genre'sall-time best-selling albums.[7] To date, the album has sold as many as 18 million units.

Of course it doesnt, it just helps the fact that hes not.

Who can honestly say Eminem is wack? I wanna know who theyre comparing.

Interestingly, of the top 10 albums of the decade, the most recently released is Usher's Confessions, which came out in 2004.
CD's will eventually go the way of the 8-track.

Crazy how much that N'sync CD sold, I remember when I was in school so many girls had this album. Oh and how much did Outkast - Speakerboxx/ Love Belowsell? I thought that album went diamond, is it not there because it was a double CD?
