Best-Selling Music of 2002

Robbie Williams again, this time topping with Escapology, headlined a 2002 list defined by mature, expansive guitar records. Coldplay's A Rush Of Blood To The Head and Red Hot Chili Peppers' By the Way pushed stadium-scale rock up the chart, while Norah Jones' debut Come Away With Me brought a quiet jazz-pop counterweight. The catalogue heavyweights stand out: Elvis's Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits, the Rolling Stones' Forty Licks and Queen's The Platinum Collection all charting decades into their careers. Avril Lavigne's Let Go and Pink's M!ssundaztood flagged the rising teen-rock crossover. Across the board, 2002 favoured the assured and the established over the brand new.
