lol now look at all the pre-Napster ones (20th century basically) -- (link) - hollywood big shot Mar 20, 11:37 1
- (exactly eight albums released after 2000 have even cracked the 20m sold mark) -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 20, 11:44
Okay, I'm going to spoil, since I'm not confident this list is 100% accurate. I think it's missing NSync and a few 2000 albums. -- (link) - MDH Mar 20, 11:32 16
- MDH, Norah was 2002. -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:34 4
  - Yup, edited below. Looked at the wrong line -- nm - MDH Mar 20, 11:35 3
    - Yeah, by the article's own rules it seems that Hybrid Theory should not be on there? -- nm* - ty97 Mar 20, 11:37 2
      - right? ha -- nm - MDH Mar 20, 11:40 1
        
        The requirements sentence could be written a little more clearly I'll admit. - ty97 Mar 20, 11:45
- I doubt n*sync broke that number. -- nm - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 20, 11:34 7
  - They did (14M) -- nm - oblique Mar 20, 11:35
  - lol, missed it by 20k. -- (link) - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 20, 11:35 3
    - (MDH's lists is worldwide sales, so even with those numbers it would make it) -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:36 2
      - Ah, did not add the UK. - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 20, 11:36 1
        
        *waves you away* Bye Bye Bye Spawn -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:38
  - United States (RIAA)[113] 11× Platinum 14,500,000[A] -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:35 1

- "The criteria are that the album must have been published... and the album must have shipped at least 10 million units starting from January 1, 2001" -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:33 2
  - How'd Linkin Park make the list for that first album then? Sorry everyone! -- nm - MDH Mar 20, 11:34 1
    - I was impressed how many they got here. I wouldn't have guessed half of those -- nm - oblique Mar 20, 11:36

Kate Bush - Aerial (2005) -- nm - mud Mar 20, 11:28 1

  - 10-13 grouping then. - Will Hunting Mar 20, 11:27 4
    - Not sure. This is the list that I peeked at but I don't see them there either -- (link) - oblique Mar 20, 11:29 3
      - I'm wondering about this list now. It's also missing no Strings Attached, which was massive... -- nm - MDH Mar 20, 11:30 2
        
        Does this list consider the 2000s to be 2001 onward? -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:32 1
        
        That's what I'm wondering. Except Linkin Park (25M) made the list. I spoiled above. -- nm* - MDH Mar 20, 11:33
Amy Winehouse - B2B -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 20, 11:21 1
- Yup 16M -- nm - MDH Mar 20, 11:23
Adele - 21 obviously. Did the follow up hit that too? -- nm - spamlet Mar 20, 11:20 1
- 2 albums: 21 (31M), 25 (23M) -- nm - MDH Mar 20, 11:22
Was The Beatles No 1s album released after 2000? -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:20 4
- It was 2000. Not on the list - I guess because the songs were originally published earlier? That was a question I had too. -- nm - MDH Mar 20, 11:22 3
  - I wasn't sure if "greatest hits" albums or the like would qualify, I just remembered that album was massive at the time -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:29 2
    - Curtain Call qualified -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 11:45 1
      - Looking closer, 1 was released in 2000, so before the 21st century -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 11:47
Some Eminem album -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:19 1
- 2 albums: The Eminem Show 27M, Curtain Call: The Hits 13M. -- nm - MDH Mar 20, 11:20
Taylor Swift? -- nm - Beaker Mar 20, 11:18 1
- Nope. She does have a 12M and a 10M seller though. I made the cut-off at 13M due to the number hitting the threshold. -- nm - MDH Mar 20, 11:19
