Most Successful Albums of 2008, released in a prior year

Having an album debut at #1 is great, but the true objective for an album is to last and stay relevant. Many artists have had blockbuster sellers that went away quickly, but to have an album that can remain a best seller and stay relevant years after its release date is impressive. Here is the most successful albums of 2008 whose release date was in a prior year. Congrats to these artists and albums for maintaining success. *One sidenote: We didn't include any albums released in the 4th Quarter of 2007 because those records usually dominate the early part of the year and that seemed a little unfair.
