	Hey, Chris Brown beat Rihanna..... (too soon?)

	JulieD:	Mar 30th, 2009 at 19:30 GMT	7 points
	Snif. They have two albums on that list. Snif.

	JAJDH... hilarious

	Interesting quiz. I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I had no idea the guys with "Black Ice" were still around.

	Blast, couldn't spell "Caillat" right

	Peanut:	Mar 30th, 2009 at 20:06 GMT	18 points
	God... this is what your charts are like over there? Ouch.

	No matter how annoyingly catchy "Burnin' Up" is, we have GOT to expose America's children to better music. Oy.

	lmao @JAjDH. Brii you must find some jack johnson to listen to, or watch curious george as it is full of his music.

	sevorak:	Mar 30th, 2009 at 20:55 GMT	18 points
	The Jonas Brothers are on there twice? There's something wrong with this country.

	DeeJay:	Mar 30th, 2009 at 21:06 GMT	3 points
	I thought the Jack Johnson album was titled Sleep Through The Static, but you seem to have missed out the 'The' here...

	I'm guessing the one that was miles clear as the most remembered was because Sporcle users have musical taste? (That, and the fact that it's one of the few that us Brits would know!)

	ArtVandaley:	Mar 30th, 2009 at 21:22 GMT	3 points
	I am proud to say I only got 3!

	JohnJF:	Mar 30th, 2009 at 21:32 GMT	5 points
	Isn't it interesting how much less "popular" the top two artists are than the others? People can mock Groban all they want (and, believe me, I do), but the man does sell albums. The album era is going down with the music industry as a whole.

	marpocky:	Mar 30th, 2009 at 22:20 GMT	12 points
	What an absolutely atrocious list.

	DrumBum88:	Mar 30th, 2009 at 22:25 GMT	2 points
	Josh Groban's album was a Christmas album and was very good. I'm sure the main times of his sales was around the holiday season.

	After doing this quiz, I had to put on Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti" and listen to it start to finish just to know I was still alive.

	RavenEleni:	Mar 30th, 2009 at 23:02 GMT	-2 points
	as awful as this list is, if u looked the other side of the pond it would probably be even worse.

	jaspa:	Mar 30th, 2009 at 23:45 GMT	0 points
	@sosyndicate: Well said. If this is what our generation creates as the most-sold albums, imagine what these lists will look like when future generations refer to Disney bands as "the classics."

	wooooowwww!!!! really? jonas brothers? america has become screwed up

	theGrit:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 00:58 GMT	0 points
	I'm ashamed at how many I got. I guess this is what happens when you teach college freshmen. Ugh.

	kat_5889:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 00:58 GMT	1 point
	JohnJF: say what you want, I still think Groban's way better than most people on this list.

	lostnone:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 02:09 GMT	-4 points
	@raveneleni - not true, i am afraid - imo the uk top 20 albums of 2008 is much better, featuring such artists as Duffy, Kings of Leon, Coldplay, The Killers, Nickleback, The Script, Amy Winehouse, Stereophonics, Oasis and Snow Patrol alongside Leona Lewis and Rihanna - way more varied than the US list, and absolutely no bands manufactured by Disney. Of course, the list also includes Abba and Celine Dion, so maybe its not all good.....

	Thank God Metallica, the greatest band of all time, beat the Jonas Brothers, the worst band of all time. Next time Metallica comes out with an album, it's gonna be number one. I guarantee it

	zalagreensbury:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 04:14 GMT	0 points
	this list made me cringe, the jonas brothers are considered actual music? i just thought it was tween girl scream fest fodder and nothing more.

	@lostnone: Did you seriously just claim Nickelback as a CREDIT to the UK list??

	AntieAnnie:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 05:20 GMT	0 points
	I try to blame my kid as the reason that I know NOTHING, but I didn't even get the Jo-Bros for two points. Argh!

	bluesixstring:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 09:28 GMT	2 points
	This list doesn't surprise me. I teach guitar in the bay area and all my 9-13 year olds cite Jonas bros as their favorite band. Nothing pleased me more than when a kid asked to learn Don't Fear the Reaper. The saddest part, there are some really great bands out there that will never make this list. My top 20 of 2008 would only share one album with this list...Mariah Carreys. Just kidding!

	Loud:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 09:35 GMT	2 points
	I somehow doubt Mariah Carey has any idea what E=MC² even means.

	Kathleen:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 11:21 GMT	0 points
	It's amazing to me that you people are worried about what music people are listening to in this country, and using THAT to say that this country is messed up. There are plenty of things that are ruining this country, and I'm sorry the Jonas Brothers aren't one of them. Ruining good music, maybe. But the country? Give me a break.

	chrispaz:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 12:30 GMT	3 points
	@lostnone, that's not really much of a defense for the UK charts, although admittedly it isn't quite as bad as the US charts. There aren't any great albums in your list, it's all middle-of-the-road rubbish. But the charts have almost always been awful, so who cares?

	SowCrates:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 17:13 GMT	2 points
	the comments so far have neglected to point out that KID ROCK is on this list?!?

	saraaaaaah.:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 19:41 GMT	-1 points
	i got 14! i'm from the UK, and the only one i don't know is Colbie Caillat. I'm ashamed didn't get Mary J Blige though.

	bballstar:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 20:23 GMT	-2 points
	Jonas Brothers on twice ... (Super sad face) =(

	buiksloot:	Apr 1st, 2009 at 00:57 GMT	1 point
	Why is the record industry in the toilet? They'll continue to blame file-sharers, I'm sure, though Exhibit One is the list above.

	buiksloot:	Apr 1st, 2009 at 01:00 GMT	0 points
	Kings of Leon, Nickelback!!, Oasis, the Killers, and Coldplay are given as evidence of the British public's advanced taste? Don't make me larf.
