"Over three decades after their breakup, the Beatles still released the top-selling album of the 2000s. The Fab Four&amp;apos;s greatest hits compilation 1 sold over 11,448,000 copies since its release in November 2000 according to Nielsen SoundScan&amp;apos;s decade-end sales numbers. Eminem was the 2000s&amp;apos; top-selling artist with 32.2 million combined in sales, plus two albums in the decade&amp;apos;s Top 10: The Marshall Mathers LP was fourth with 10,195,000 sold and Eminem Show was fifth with 9,789,000. Slim Shady edged out the Fab Four for the distinction of the decade&amp;apos;s top-seller as the Beatles claimed Number Two with 30 million.\r\nOnly two more albums managed to cross into diamond &amp;#x2014; or 10 million sales &amp;#x2014; certification: &amp;apos;NSync&amp;apos;s No Strings Attached (11,111,000) and Norah Jones&amp;apos; Come Away With Me (10,523,000.) As a testament to the record industry&amp;apos;s decline in the second half of the decade, only two albums released in the years between 2005 and 2009 managed to get in the Top 20 of the 2000s&amp;apos; bestsellers: Nickelback&amp;apos;s All the Right Reasons and Carrie Underwood&amp;apos;s Some Hearts at 14 and 17 with sales under seven million. Nickelback&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;How You Remind Me&amp;quot; was also named the 2000&amp;apos;s Number One overall song, beating out Train&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Drops of Jupiter&amp;quot; and Lifehouse&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Hanging on a Moment.&amp;quot;\r\nWhile theses numbers only applied to the last, iTunes-dominated quarter of the decade, Flo Rida&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Low&amp;quot; was the 2000s biggest-selling digital single, while Coldplay&amp;apos;s Viva La Vida was the best-selling digital album.
