We are from a lot of different countries, but I guess they are all releasing the biggest selling acts of the past decade. Today it was announced that the biggest selling albums in Australia for the Naughties were -
1 Innocent Eyes - Delta Goodrem 2 Funhouse - Pink 3 I'm not dead - Pink 4 Come away with me - Norah Jones 5 The Sound of white - Missy Higgins
The biggest singles were -
1 Angels bought me here - Guy Sebastian, 2003 Idol winner 2 The Prayer - Anthony Callea, 2004 idol runnerup 3 I gotta feeling - Black Eyed Peas 4 Poker Face - Lady Gaga 5 What about me - Shannon Noll, Idol 2003 runnerup
Suprisingly, the novelty "The Ketchup Song" came in at #11.
The Black Eyed Peas had 5 songs in the Top 50 selling singles, while sadly there where only 8 Australian songs (from 6 artists) in the Top 50.
For 2009 alone, Pink was once again relegated to #2 by... Susan Boyle, while the biggest selling song of 2009 was the Black Eyed Peas "I gotta feeling".

Atomik, what was the biggest overseas act in Finland?
We never get to hear much of the music from European countries, yet they seem to dominate the charts over there.

Wow, Shakira was popular everywhere wasn't she?
I kind of like her, she's a very strange woman, which I admire a lot. My favorite song of hers is "Tango(Objection)"
