The biggest selling albums of the decade

James Blunt's Back to Bedlam was considered the biggest selling album of the decade

Last decade some remarkable albums, records and artists made history as they became the hottest and most popular in the UK amongst people.
According to the Official Chart Company, during the past ten years the album Back to Bedham by James Blunt became the one which registered the highest sales in the UK.
You're beautiful was the responsible for this success as it topped the charts in the summer of 2005.
The second biggest selling albums in this country was acquired by Dido with No Angels in 2000. This album included the massive songs Here without you and Thank you.
The controversial Amy Winehouse made it to the number 3 with her acclaimed album Back to Black from which she released five singles. Each reached the top 20 in the singles chart of the UK.
Her most memorable songs from this album were definitely Rehab and You know I'm not good, both stayed in the Top 10 for weeks.
Leona Lewis and David Gray get the 4th and the 5th positions with their albums Spirit and White Ladder.
For Lewis, former winner of X-Factor show in 2006, the fame became when she released the single A moment like this but her single Bleeding love was responsible of making her massive all over the world. In UK this song became, indeed, the most selling song in 2007.
Back in 2000, David Gray was the biggest singer in the UK when he released the pop ballad Babylon.
I'm sure this song was the one who gave him this 5th position in the biggest selling albums of the past decade.
Now, a new decade has begun, let's wait what the results would be in 10 years and which albums become the hottest records in the music industry.
