Canada Year-End SalesSo who sold the most records in Canada in 2010? That would be Eminem’s Recovery wtih 435,000, which is more than double of the #2-selling album, Speak Now from Taylor Swift (215,000; then again, her record came out much later in the year). The Bieber is in third spot, followed by Lady Antebellum and Lady Gaga.
But here’s the number that interests me: In 2009, 26 album sold more than 100,000 copies in Canada. In 2010, only 16 made it that far.
The biggest selling single digital song was “Dynamite” by Taio Cruz with 319,000 downloads. “Love the Way You Lie” from Eminen and Rihanna was #2 and Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” was #3.
