Historians of British pop will look back on the noughties as the decade a once-vital, progressive and unifying cultural force ran out of ideas, sold out to the TV industry, then shriveled into irrelevance.

Either that, or they’ll just laugh with sheer derision. Here are the singles that sold the most in the last ten years:

1. Will Young - Evergreen
2. Gareth Gates - Unchained Melody
3. Shaggy - It Wasn’t Me
4. Tony Christie/Peter Kay - Is This The Way To Amarillo?
5. Band Aid 20 - Do They Know It’s Christmas?
6. Hear’Say - Pure And Simple
7. Shayne Ward - That’s My Goal
8. Kylie Minogue - Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
9. Bob The Builder - Can We Fix It
10. Atomic Kitten - Whole Again
