2012 Year in Review: The 10 Best Selling Albums of 2012


few days ago,  we talked about the highest selling singles of 2012 but what I always find interesting is that a high selling single does not always mean a high selling album. Yesterday’s list of the ten best selling singles of 2012 does not match up with our list of the 10 best selling albums of 2012. There are a few artists that had best selling singles but didn’t crack the top ten for the albums. On the other side of the coin, there are a number of artists that had a top ten selling album but didn’t crack the top ten for singles. Was the whole album better? One song just wasn’t enough? Check out the list and you be the judge.
