The Top 10 R&B Acts of the 2000s
1. Michael Jackson (23.8 million albums)
Jackson, who died in June 2009, has had two #1 albums on The Billboard 200 since 2000: Invincible and the soundtrack from the posthumously released Michael Jackson’s This is It. He would have had a third with the hits compilation Number Ones, which was the best-selling album in the U.S. for six weeks following his death, but catalog albums weren’t allowed on the big chart at the time. Jackson received the Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs in 1988. In 1991, the award was renamed in his honor. Jackson was awarded a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy in 2010.
