Well according to many respectable news outlets, the highest selling artist of the decade is American rapper 'Eminem' (over 80 million albums purchased/not including singles), with the British band 'The Beatles' in close second. This is based on their international and national sales. Meaning sales based on goods consumers actually purchased, not goods that were solely shipped to stores and remained in stock.

I loved your essay sweetheart! My husband and I are huge Hikki fans and always have been. She's my favorite. I appreciate your love for her. It's nice to see fellow Hikki fans on an Ayu forum.
