List: Top Ten Bestselling Albums in the USA
Date: 2006
Source: Nielsen Soundscan
Base: By unit sales.
Notes: The soundtrack to High School Musical headed the list of top 10 bestselling albums. James Blunt was the only non-American act to make the list. When compared to the 2005 top ten best selling albums sales are noticeably down, most probably due to the growth in digital downloading which enables more selective choices as the 'long tail' takes effect.
