Nielsen Music have released a new report looking at US music sales across the 2010s. One of the more interesting parts of the list is that The Beatles’ Abbey Road was the highest-selling vinyl LP in the US of the decade.
Perhaps even more interestingly, only one original album actually released in the 2010s cracked the list. That was Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die, which scored the number 10 slot. The Guardians Of The Galaxy soundtrack also made the list, which while technically released in the 2010s, consists of all older songs.
