1 704 Rihanna

2 530 David Guetta

3 422 Katy Perry

4 416 Tinie Tempah

5 413 Bruno Mars

Additionally, a 12th top 100 album for David Bowie (counting 'Best Of Bowie' twice as it erroneously appeared in the chart twice one week) puts him second/third in artists with the most top 100 albums in the decade, behind the 20 for Glee Cast. (André Rieu has 16 top 100 albums but they are split between 7 credited only to him and 9 credited to André Rieu And His Johann Strauss Orchestra). The Beatles, Kate Bush and Queen have 11 each and Michael Jackson and Rod Stewart have 10 each.
