The race to dominate the decade in music has come down to Eminem and The Beatles in the stretch. The winner?

Both. The rapper emerges as the top-selling artist of the past 10 years, and the Fab Four have bragging rights to the best-selling album.

With 32.2 million copies sold, Eminem leads the pack in overall album sales, followed by The Beatles with 30 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan, which releases its decade tabulations today. Data were tallied through Nov. 1, and though figures could rise through Dec. 31, they won't alter the rankings.

Eminem equal with the Beatles? - I can feel the hate in the air. Good going Em!

Do the D12 sales count aswell or just his solo stuff? I think D12 sold like 6 million worldwide

and lets be honest people only buy those albums for Em, not so they can hear Bizarre

no D12's work does not counted towards Em's sale. But this is only US sale and D12 sold like 4m in US, not much though.
