Over the post 12 months, The Sun claims British artists have accounted for one in ten albums sold Stateside – a significant percentage of the market.

The phenomenal rise of Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle gave British sales a massive boost. MOI Dreamed A Dream' in the US in the last six weeks of 2009 alone.

Meanwhile, The Beatles reissued all of their 14 albums in a remastered format – a collection of works that shifted in excess of 3.2million units.
