Another year done and it's time to unveil the new Top 100 for the decade over the next 12 days!



The charts covered here are 16.01.10- 04.01.18 and the format will be:



POSITION, TITLE, ARTIST, MOVEMENT THROUGH THE DECADE, SALES, TOTAL SALES (T/S) IF RELEASED PRE 2010.



Thanks to Youtube, MW, Vidcapper, and some other sources!

Here's the albums we've lost during the course of 2017!

 

YES! Always love this thread.

 

I’m amazed there are actually 5 new entries tbh.

I’m guessing only 2 albums released this year have made it a few more could next year though

come on Little Mix or Bruno Mars (+Drake at a stretch)! I hope there's an entry from at least of them (my faves lol)! I wish J. Cole had more success in the UK...

and Kendrick!

YES! Always love this thread.

Climbers that were released years ago.

They could still be *new* entries on this chart though.

They could.

 

100. DO YOU WANT THE TRUTH OR SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL- Paloma Faith (42-64-73-63-67-80-86-100) 616,800 (T/S 747,000)

99. GREATEST HITS- Westlife (50-51-65-73-90-93-99) 621,100

98. THE GIFT- Susan Boyle (13-32-40-55-65-79-88-98) 622,800

97. ONLY REVOLUTIONS- Biffy Clyro (26-39-49-59-71-87-92-97) 627,800 (T/S 751,600)

96. MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY- Rod Stewart (71-62-68-81-91-96) 629,000

 

Seven acts on the rundown have 3 albums on this list Paloma Faith being the first though this is probably her last year to claim that tally as her debut album is the biggest faller this year- 14 places. Otherwise it’s fallers all around with Susan Boyle biggest album of the decade down a hefty 11 spots.

 

 

95. HOME- Rudimental (78-83-89-95) 629,500

94. RED- Taylor Swift (80-81-88-90-94) 638,500

93. TOGETHER- Alfie Boe & Michael Ball (NEW) 640,400

92. TURN IT UP- Pixie Lott (17-33-41-53-62-73-84-92) 642,500 (T/S 890,700)

91. A DECADE IN THE SUN- THE BEST OF- The Stereophonics (85-93-91-96-91) 642,700 (T/S 1,380,600)

 

We get the first of 5 new albums on the rundown at No 93 with the successful teaming of Alfie Boe & Michael Ball whose Christmas 2016 chart topper just steals a spot here. How Pixie Lott is still here is somewhat incredible but a very good year for the Stereophonics- the new album didn’t quite make No 1 but their best of remains a good seller and the first of 16 climbers!

 

Nice to see Stereophonics rebound! It’s such a shame none of their studio albums from this decade have a hope of ever appearing. Shame to see Paloma take a tumble, always forget her debut first charted in 2009.

 

Hopefully Pixie’s album will be long gone by the time the decade ends.

 

90. SEASONS OF MY SOUL- Rumer (36-36-43-54-61-71-82-90) 650,100

89. FOUR- One Direction (92-76-83-89) 651,100

88. IF YOU WAIT- London Grammar (85-85-87-88) 670,300

87. THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP 2- Eminem (91-74-82-85-87) 677,200

86. HEAVEN- Rebecca Ferguson (60-39-48-59-67-77-86) 680,400

 

Big hitters Eminem and One Direction appear here with the first of their albums, Eminem has three and One Direction the first of four with “Four”. Everything is slipping though- have they done enough to make the end of the decade top 100?

 

 

85. GHOST STORIES- Coldplay (77-77-79-85) 682,400

84. ONLY BY THE NIGHT- Kings Of Leon (31-44-50-60-66-78-78-84) 694,000 (T/S 2,954,200)

83. OUTTA THIS WORLD- JLS (18-28-37-47-56-63-74-83) 695,900

82. NO MORE IDOLS- Chase & Status (43-44-49-58-64-75-82) 697,300

81. 4- Beyonce (48-45-56-61-69-73-81) 709,400

 

 

A bunch of more fallers, Coldplay have another 2 albums to come and KOL another one though they look unlikely to ever sell in those quantities again. Yesterday’s boyband JLS continue a swift descent and surprisingly “4” is the only Beyonce album to make the list.

 

Hope Heaven makes it until the end of the decade! Rebecca is so underrated!

Very weird that '4' is Bey's biggest seller of the decade given 'Beyoncé' and 'Lemonade''s cultural impact.

It's not that surprising considering it was released the earliest in the decade; at a time when album sales were higher and the album had a much more successful singles campaign than the other albums. 5 singles - 2 went silver, 1 gold and 2 platinum. Beyonce had 2 silver and 1 platinum. Lemonade had 1 silver single. The cultural impact of Lemonade was more profound in the US than anywhere else - it didn't really have much cultural impact in the UK in comparison.

Thought Bey's 4 would be 10k higher.

 

Also...may I know where her I Am... Sasha Fierce placed in the top 200 with total sales estimate?

 

80. CAUSTIC LOVE- Paolo Nutini (75-68-72-80) 710,800

79. NUMBER ONES- Michael Jackson (xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-100-95-79) 718,800 (T/S 2,547,800)

78. FALL TO GRACE- Paloma Faith (62-58-63-62-68-78) 719,200

77. UNAPOLOGETIC- Rihanna (58-46-55-61-70-77) 727,600

76. CURTAIN CALLS: THE GREATEST HITS- Eminem (NEW) 734,100 (T/S 2,020,100)

 

Three woman have 3 albums on this list, Paloma who pops up again at No 78, and Rihanna are two of them. Eminem now also manages to have three on the list with “Curtain Call” a new entry at No 76 after a great year never leaving the top 100 and selling its 2 millionth copy! The ever present Michael Jackson also continues to sell under the radar and is the biggest climber of 16 places.

 

 

75. EVERY KINGDOM- Ben Howard (97-61-64-65-71-75) 737,300

74. GOLD- GREATEST HITS- Abba (xx-xx-xx-98-96-89-80-74) 739,000 (T/S 5,594,200)

73. SINCE I SAW YOU LAST- Gary Barlow (76-52-60-64-73) 740,100

72. IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS- GREATEST HITS 1990-2010- Robbie Williams (14-29-36-43-51-57-65-72) 743,900

71. SWINGS BOTH WAYS- Robbie Williams (52-50-58-63-71) 749,900

 

With another “Mamma Mia” film out this year the future looks good for sales of “Gold” which should continue to advance up the charts. Former band mates Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams continue to battle here with Robbie’s GH set overtaking Barlow.
