The UK Singles Chart
is a music chart compiled by the Official Charts Company that calculates the best-selling singles of the week in the United Kingdom. Since 2005, the chart has been based on the sales of both physical
and digital
albums, on the condition that the album was available in both formats. In 2007, the rules were changed so that legal downloads of all albums, irrespective of whether a physical copy was available, were eligible to chart.
Between 2000 and 2009, a number of albums sold more than 1 million copies in the United Kingdom. At the end of the decade, a retrospective chart was compiled by the Official Charts Company to determine the best-selling album of this ten-year period. The title was won by James Blunt
, with his debut album Back to Bedlam, released in 2005. The album sold 3.04 million copies, finishing ahead of Dido
's album No Angel
, which sold 3.03 million copies. Dido featured twice in the top 10 best-sellers, with Life for Rent
being the seventh best-seller of the decade. Amy Winehouse
(3), Leona Lewis
(4) and David Gray
(5) were the other solo-artists to feature. The Beatles
compilation album 1 was the highest entry by a group in the chart at number 6; Coldplay
(8), Scissor Sisters
(9) and Take That
(10) made up the rest of the top ten. Robbie Williams
