Blunt has Decade's Top UK Album


British soft-rocker James Blunt earns bragging rights as having the decade's best-selling album in the UK, with his debut Back to Bedlam selling 3.1 million copies since its release in 2005.

Although Blunt only scored one hit in the States with "You're Beautiful", he's been able to maintain his popularity across the pond with successful albums and singles.

Dido's debut album "No Angel" finished second for the decade, while train wreck Amy Winehouse sophomore set "Back to Black" was the third biggest seller of the 2000's.

No U.S. artists cracked the top 10, and the only Non-British act was the Scissor Sisters' self-titled debut, which came in at #9 for the decade.
