You know someone's going to release a FINAL "decade" sales list at the end of the year . . . but until then, here's the current Top 20 Album Sellers of the 2000s:

#1.) EMINEM, 31,127,000 albums

ADAM LAMBERT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT QUEEN WANTS WITH HIM . . . BUT HE DOESN'T SEE HIMSELF JOINING THE BAND:

ADAM LAMBERT still doesn't know what QUEEN wants with him . . . but he's downplaying all the speculation about the band hiring him as their new lead singer. (--Last week, Queen guitarist BRIAN MAY had said, quote, "[We] are definitely hoping to have a meaningful conversation with him at some point. I'd certainly like to work with Adam. That is one amazing instrument he has there.")

Adam tells the "New York Daily News", "They've never actually offered me anything. They expressed interest in working together, but just said they'd like to have a meaningful conversation, and that's it. "It could have meant they wanted me to come to dinner with them, it could have meant they wanted to talk about the meaning of life. --"I don't know if joining the band permanently is in the cards for me right now. They're legends; I'm just the new kid on the block."

Here's something to chew on: *IF* Queen did offer him the gig . . . would Adam be better off taking it . . . or turning it down??? Remember when CHRIS DAUGHTRY turned down an offer to join FUEL??? I think we can all agree that was the right choice.
