Well some of those stats are incorrect, Sugababes have sold 3.37 Million Albums in the UK now, and just over 2 million singles !!! so thats over 5 millions sales in the UK, which is alot higher than most british artists, they are probably about 8 in terms of overall best selling artists of the century!

In the UK 21st Century, Sugababes are the biggest girl group and they've sold ALOT more then Madonna and Britney. :lol: Weirdly enough. :o

They totally deserve it imo :wub:

 

Good voices and songwriting talent. Something which is hardly seen in Groups these days.

They write there own songs? :o Now that is surprising. :lol:

They write there own songs? :o Now that is surprising. :lol:

OF COURSE :o

 

They have always got writing credits to each of their songs ^_^

 

 

Yup Yup cos they are amazin!!! They write the verses they sing and come up with all the melodies and stuff.....Very talented young ladies!

think that they are outdated personally... Robbie has the biggest sales of the 21st century by quite a way, especially if u consider that on top of 6.3m he has sold intensive care and also rudebox!

I know Britney is the biggest seller of this century with albums and singles, WORLDWIDE...dunno about the UK.

Yeah, and also his Live album as well as back catalouge. I think the Channel 4 list was made up based on shipments, and how much the BPI certified the albums, some were and still are way off, like Escapology which has sold well over 2m for years now, but the BPI still have it on 1.8m shipped. It's shipped about 2.2m to shops, so if you go by shipments on just releases since 2000 then Robbie has done 12.6m But if you go by actual sales, then the best way is to use Music Weeks end of year lists, which includes everything even old albums sales since 2000, and it would be just under 12m.

 

 

I know Britney is the biggest seller of this century with albums and singles, WORLDWIDE...dunno about the UK.

 

Yeah, I'd presume when singles were added she would be #1. Albums alone, Eminem is by a large margin, near 70m sold :o

You could neverg et an accurate list of the biggest selling artist worldwide this decade. There's wars going on for pages on UKMIX about that. :lol:

 

I bet though if someone had access to all our YEAR CHARTS from 2000-2007 for singles/albums etc you could work it out. :lol:

 

I'd definately say combined the top 10 would include.

 

Dido, Westlife, Robbie Williams, Norah Jones, James Blunt, Will Young, Britney, Eminem, Sugababes.

 

I will look into it. :smoke:

Yeah I know that thread you are talking about :lol:

 

It seems good though, as alot of the sales are given by experts and come from record companys end of year reports etc. The list is only based on albums released since 2000 though. Top 10.

 

 

1. Eminem: 65m

2. Britney Spears: 42m

3. Robbie Williams: 41m

4. The Beatles: 38.5m

5. Norah Jones: 32m

6. U2: 30.5

7. Madonna: 30m

8. Coldplay: 29.5m

9. Linkin Park: 29m

10. Nelly: 29m

I suspect Westlife, Eminem and possible Blobby would be ahead of the Sugababes.

 

I'd be surprised if Britney was in the top 10, singles yes, but her album performance would drag her down, possibly below the likes of Kylie, Pink, Madonna, Anastacia and Christina.

Edited August 15, 200717 yr by Shoat

Oooh I forgot Coldplay. :o

I have all the YTDs for this decade's singles/albums on my PC.

It'd be a longshot but I could have a go seems I'm bedbound today :lol:

If anyone is interested? ^_^

Tbh, Britney, Madonna and Christina dont have amazingly high sales from the 21st Century, Uk/Europe.

Well Madonna and Xtina have only released 3 studio albums, so it's not that suprising.

 

And Graham do you mean the Music Week end of year artists lists for the Uk or do you mean worldwide? :unsure:

I Went hunting around the web eons ago and have.

It'd be UK only which I think is what Ryan initially asked for :lol:

 

 

2000-2004 Top 200 Singles/Albums in the UK

2005/2006 Top 250 Singles/Albums in the UK

 

2000-2006 End Of Year artists lists for singles/albums

 

And 2007's so far is pretty easy to find around here.

I dont get it, some of them sales are really weird. :blink: Is it based on combined sales (as in, if an artist has had 2 albums that have done well, both of them sales are put together) or something? :unsure:
