1) "O Brother, Where Art Thou" Soundtrack - Various Artists
Although the singles had virtually no airplay from radio, this rootsy soundtrack to the popular Coen Brothers' movie has sold over three million copies. If that doesn't qualify it for a spot on the Top 10, I don't know what does.

4) "Scarecrow" - Garth Brooks
Garth's first single from this album, "Wrapped Up In You" peaked at No. 7 on the charts, but it's the album's Platinum-plus status is what gets it a spot on the Top 10.

Diamond Rio's single, "One More Day" became a No. 1 song, and became an anthem for those grieving for Dale Earnhardt, and again, after the 9-11 tragedies. The album also includes the Top 20 song, "Sweet Summer."

10) "Trick Pony" - Trick Pony
Trick Pony came out of nowhere with their bar room song, "Pour Me," which was a Top 20 song, and their recent hit, "On a Night Like This," which went all the way to No. 4.
