This is a summary of music in the United Kingdom during the decade of the 2000s. ==Trends & Changes In Music== The 2000s saw the singles market turn from the pop sound of the 90s to a more R'N'B, Rap & Hip Hop orientated mix. The albums market whilst keeping pop acts in the limelight, turned its attention to rock bands, many of which became mainstream acts out of almost nowhere. ==Popular Artists, Hit Singles & Albums== The most popular British male solo artist of the decade was Robbie Williams who had 3 of his albums, as well as his Greatest Hits compilation top the albums chart. He also scored 4 singles chart toppers and performed on Band Aid 20. Other males who were successful were Usher and rapper Eminem, who accumulated a total of 6 chart toppers during the decade. Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera received very notable success during the decade. Britney Spears released her first Greatest Hits collection in 2004, which reached a peak of #2 in the albums chart. Band Aid 20 was formed for the Christmas of 2004 when a collaboration of stars re-recorded the 20 year old Christmas classic, "Do They Know It's Christmas?", which topped the charts for 4 weeks and sold over a million copies. Beatles 1 was a greatest hits release by The Beatles in 2000 with all their UK and US #1 singles; it topped the albums chart for 9 weeks and sold 2.1 million copies in the UK alone.
