The lyrics are still gloomy, but the catchy tunes of “Life for Rent” and “White Ladder” are long gone
IF EVER you wondered how long a decade could be in the music industry, look at the ten highest-selling albums of the 2000s in Britain. Amy Winehouse, whose “Back to Black” was the third-most popular record of the decade, died of a drug overdose in 2011, a tragedy that feels distant now. George Harrison was still alive when “1”, the collection of chart-topping Beatles singles, was released.
Yet even though the pair had a couple of top-ten albums in America, their most loyal listeners are moody Brits. Their songs are full of people feeling pangs of love while sitting in dingy flats or strolling through parks at dusk. Both Dido and Mr Gray are obsessed with Britain’s murky light.
