The Top 10 Records of This Century

Can we all agree that History broke in 2016? The asshole(s) who did it are still hard at work.

Adele Hello was not 2025

WHERE IS HYBRID THEORY..?

Am I the only one who thinks Adele can't sing ?

Are you a time traveling Robert Downy Junior?

Top records from my 2000’s youth that weren’t mainstream hits, in no particular order:

Blood Brothers “Burn Piano Island Burn”
The Mars Volta “Deloused in the Comatorium”
Quasimoto “The Unseen”
Circa Survive “Juturna”
Glassjaw “Worship and Tribute”
Karnivool “Sound Awake”
Del the Funky Homosapien “Both Sides of the Brain”

And the 90’s most unintentionally best sounding record of the decade…Crash Test Dummies “God Shuffled His Feet.”

And a shameless plug for the best song I ever wrote: Seasons Change by Kaleider.

Cheers!

This can’t be true. Usher sold over 20 million of confessions

Younger people don't even know what is to pay for music. There's no best selling music anymore. The music business is so outdated by keeping these categories.

I’m surprised no Taylor Swift

No TPAB??? 😢

The Stone Roses, I just don't get Coldplay at all

Norah Jones but not Elkie Brooks?. Proof these things are pointless.

Where the hell is Michael Jackson... This list is fake Afff

SO TOP RECORD IS WHAT HAS THE MOST SALES??? Unbelievable. I was thinking it will be about the level of musicality ...

Are these LPs or cds?

The Century has hardly even started, so how is this a serious question.

1989 sold 22 million units. Where are these numbers from?

What the heck is a record and playboy carti clears

Well Enya: A Day Without Rain is disqualified then because the current century (21st) is from Jan 1st 2001 and it was released at the end of 2000.

That Enya album is some of the most beautiful, ethereal music of all time.

Irish Celtic magic and so unique.

Eminem was maybe the first rapper to be the Biggest and also be Respected in the underground. Where all the real MC’s were at.
He had a gift that made even casual listeners hold onto to every word.
He knows more about hip hop than just about anyone.
He studied and learned from the masters. Masta Ace, Kool G Rap, Rakim, KRS, Kane, Del, Wu Tang, Nas etc etc etc

People that don’t like him at least recognize his talent.

I got Lars Ulrich to sign my Burnt Copy of Metallica’s Death Magnetic LP.

No I didn’t. I wonder how many artists have signed burnt cds lol

Anybody else surprised
The Eminem Show surpassed the Marshal Mathers LP?

Eminem Produced Every Track on The Eminem Show. All but 3.
Dre Produced ‘Business’ ‘What You Say’ and did he do ‘My Dads gone Crazy’?

I just think it’s impressive. And yeah Em learned from Dre but he came up with his own sound.
All those songs that have the instrumental build ups I.e Lose Yourself, Till I Collapse, etc.
For a while people would say, he’d be nothing without Dre.
Which, yeah if had signed with Loud or Rawkus or Duck Down
He wouldn’t have been as big. But he’d still be held in HIGH RESPECT for all hip hop heads.

I just want a Straight Up Raw AF Boom Bap album of him.
Royce is one of Em’s best friends and he’s in a group with DJ Premier!
We can’t get One Premier produced Eminem track????!!!!!
(Yeah he did some scratches on book of rhymes but)

is MMLP gonna be number 1? I mean if the Eminem show is number 2. Only makes sense

Is this century over?

It finally came the day with desagree big time, Rick. I think that Coldplay album like any other Coldplay album SUCKS immensely. And despite all of those sales, to me the whole list is made of "sonic laxatives", really.
Now, from RIC to RICK : I thought your podcast was about music, mate.
What's going on ?
.....Only joking.........

As a numbers nerd I'm struggling to cope with your references to a top 10 which is composed of 11 albums.
