ARIA Charts - Top 75 albums of the Decade



AUSTRALIA'S HIGHEST-SELLING ALBUMS OF THE DECADE

DELTA Goodrem had this in the bag, despite a double-pronged attack from Pink. Her debut album Innocent Eyes spent a remarkable 29 weeks at No.1 in 2003, breaking John Farnham's run at the top with Whispering Jack by a month. The album spawned five No.1 singles and went platinum 14 times, selling 1.2 million copies. Pink sold more than a million copies of her two albums Funhouse and I'm Not Dead combined; indeed between them both albums have spent 238 weeks in the Australian Top 100 since 2006. Norah Jones' album was a worldwide phenomenon in 2002, selling more than 700,000 copies in Australia. Rounding out an all-female Top 5 is Melbourne's Missy Higgins. Her 2004 debut The Sound of White spent more than two years on the chart, selling close to 630,000 copies.
Elsewhere Kings of Leon became the biggest rock band of the decade with their fourth album belatedly introducing them to the mainstream in 2008. Melbourne's Jet had the highest-selling local rock album of the decade. James Blunt may be off the radar now but was unavoidable in 2004 with more than half a million sales in Australia. Robbie Williams' singles compilation dominated the Christmas chart in 2004 while Eminem adds some rap to the Top 10. Unsurprisingly, Coldplay and U2 had the most albums in the Top 100 sellers of the decade with four apiece (although two U2 titles were singles compilations).
