Amazon.com 10th Anniversary Hall of Fame musicians

As an Eva Cassidy fan, the following is quite remarkable. Fifth place! Wow!



Congratulations to our 10th Anniversary Hall of Fame musicians, whose CDs have sold the largest number of copies at Amazon.com in the seven years since Amazon began selling music in 1998.

You're invited to watch this concert event, which will be hosted by humorist Bill Maher and feature presentations from some of our all-time top-selling artists, on the Amazon.com homepage at 5 p.m. Pacific Time on Saturday, July 16.
