Norah Jones' record Come Away With Me has topped the US's best-selling Billboard Albums chart of the past decade.

Jones' debut record has sold nearly 11 million copies since it was released in 2002. Eminem's The Eminem Show and Usher's Confessions were second and third after selling 10 million and more than nine million respectively.

Adele's album 21 is fourth in the list, which is compiled by Nielsen SoundScan. The British singer's sophomore album has sold more than eight million copies and is the best-selling record of the past 10 years by an artist outside the US.

50 Cent's Get Rich Or Die Tryin' notched up more than eight million sales, while records by Evanescence and Nickelback were in sixth and seventh place.

Carrie Underwood's Some Hearts, Avril Lavigne's Let Go and Fearless by Taylor Swift rounded out the top 10.
