进入21世纪后，唱片工业萎缩，销量逐年下降，能够上千万就已经很了不起，不复当年最畅销唱片可以达到几千万的惊人历史
2004年以来，过千万的唱片一共有4张：
1, Usher - Confessions 13.6
2, Lady GaGa - The Fame (Monster) 11.7
3, James Blunt - Back To Bedlam 10.7
4, Amy Winehouse - Back To Black 10.6

2004年以来其他高销量唱片还有：
Taylor Swift - Fearless 7.7
Eminem - Encore 8.5
Susan Boyle - I Dreamed A Dream 8.1
Black Eyed Peas - Monkey Business 9.3
Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D. 7.6
U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb 8.2
Coldplay - X&Y 7.8
Coldplay - Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends 8.1
Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane 8.1
Green Day - American Idiot 8

前100中，上榜专辑数量不止一张的歌手分别是：

The Beatles 6
Michael Jackson 5
Celine Dion 4
Pink Floyd 3
Led Zeppelin 3
Guns N Roses3
U2 3
Madonna 3
Whitney Houston 2（不包括原声碟Bodyguard）
Eagles 2
Fleetwood Mac 2
Queen 2
Simon & Garfunkel 2
Mariah Carey 2
Backstreet Boys 2
Phil Collins 2
Britney Spears 2
Bon Jovi 2
Eminem 2

几个有意思的现象：

1，原声带销量很好
包括原声大碟Grease；Bodyguard；Saturday Night Fever；Dirty Dancing；Titanic等都榜上有名。而且前5名有三张原声带

2，精选集卖得很好
包括下面一大堆专辑
Eagles Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975
The Beatles One
ABBA Gold
Queen Greatest Hits
Simon & Garfunkel Greatest Hits
The Beatles 1967-1970
The Beatles 1962-1966
Queen Greatest Hits II
Elton John Elton Johns Greatest Hits
U2 Best Of 1980-1990
Billy Joel Greatest Hits I & II
James Taylor Greatest Hits
The Beatles一共上榜6张专辑，有3张是精选集
Queen上榜的2张全是精选集

3,Michael Jackson一共没发行几张专辑，就有5张上榜，名副其实流行之王

4,关于Celine Dion 和美国四大天后
很多人以为美国四大天后有Celine Dion，是一个常见而可以理解的误解
Celine Dion上榜专辑4张，数量是女歌手里面最多的，高于Madonna的3张，Whitney Houston的2张（不包括原声碟Bodyguard），Mariah Carey 的2张。而正牌四大天后的另外一位Janet Jackson没有一张上榜专辑

5,关于The Beatles
The Beatles的专辑是越卖越好
3张精选都是其解散之后发行，而3张新歌专辑也都是其后期作品（67年以后）

6，摇滚乐在西方乐坛的老大地位不可撼动
拥有三张以上上榜专辑的歌手/乐队一共8个，有5个是摇滚乐队，且除Guns N Roses相对年轻外，其他都是老牌摇滚乐队

7，英语霸权
完全只有英语，法语德语日语的都没有。一个典型就是靠法语歌曲起家的celine dion上榜的都全是英文专辑
美国这个全球最大的唱片消费市场有着决定性的影响，英国也是一个很大的唱片消费市场，再加上其他语言国家和地区也会大量购买英语唱片，造成了如此局面

8，说唱歌手
现在说唱占据了美国市场的半壁江山，但从历史数据来看，由于其鼎盛时期错过了唱片的黄金年代，说唱歌手的销量不能占据历史榜单的重要位置
阿姆是少数上榜的说唱歌手之一，更是唯一有两张专辑上榜的
我大致浏览了一下，上榜的说唱歌手好像一共只有两位，另一位是MC Hammer

9，关于几个歌手在前40名所处集团的统计
   
1-10名上榜不止一张的（不含原声碟）
Michael Jackson 2
Pink Floyd 1
Eagles 1
   
10-20名上榜不止一张的（上一集团的歌手自动计入，但专辑不重复计算）
Michael Jackson 1
Pink Floyd 1
The Beatles 1
Celine Dion 1
   
20-30名上榜不止一张的（上一集团的歌手自动计入，但专辑不重复计算）
Eagles 1
The Beatles 1
Celine Dion 1
   
30-40名上榜不止一张的（上一集团的歌手自动计入，但专辑不重复计算）
The Beatles 3
Michael Jackson的成绩很闪亮，不但占据榜首，上榜专辑总数居第2，而且其中3张占据前30名
Pink Floyd在前20名占据2张
The Beatles成绩也非常好，在第30-40名时超越Michael Jackson成为上榜专辑数最多的歌手/乐队

michael最棒

所以说KOP~
不过原声带也真的挺好卖

elizabeths

都是以前的专辑，现在的销量和以前的比简直= =

MJ最棒才发行几张就有5张上榜，名副其实流行之王

QUIZ: Who Are The 3 Most Popular Musical Acts Of The Digital Age?
Apr. 3, 2011, 12:45 PM

Gracenote is in the unglamorous but critically important business of providing metadata for music files -- song titles, artist names, album cover art, and so on.

The company claims that it serves "billions of searches a month from thousands of products used by hundreds of millions of consumers."

It was bought by Sony in 2009 and is used in many Sony products, but also by Apple's iTunes, Google's lyric search, and many other services.

So that gives Gracenote a pretty good look at what people are actually listening to and interested in, unlike sales charts or analysts like Big Champagne, which measures songs that are downloaded from file-trading networks.

The other night, an executive revealed to me the three artists that consistently get the most lookups in Gracenote's database. They are:

Michael Jackson -- particularly after he died in 2009
Bob Marley
Tupac Shakur
This exec said that The Beatles are popular in North America and Europe, but less so in the rest of the world.

That rings true to me -- I've had a kid in Indonesia quote back Bob Marley lyrics to me, and Marley and Jacko are played in almost every corner of the world I've visited. (Tupac is a more recent development, I guess.)

But I have never once heard a single Beatles song played outside the U.S. or British Commonwealth

大意是，数字时代，最受关注的三个歌星是Michael Jackson，Bob Marley（雷鬼教父），Tupac（说唱巨星）
