Amazon.com will induct 25 all-time best selling musicians (based on its sales information) to celebrate its 10th Anniversary. The 25 musicians will be inducted in the order of total units sold. Dave Matthews Band boasts an impressive 11th place, beating out other huge names such as Elton John, Pink Floyd, and Elvis Presley to name a few. A full list of the 25 inductees can be found here. Two months after the release of Stand Up, the album sits at 16th on Amazon.com's Music Top Sellers list.

To celebrate their anniversary and the inductees, Amazon.com will hold a concert hosted by Bill Maher with performances from Bob Dylan and Norah Jones. The concert will be streamed over Amazon.com an 5 p.m. PT on Saturday, July 16 for customers to watch.

In addition Amazon.com is doing "Special Deliveries" to customers from July 7th to July 16th. Customer will find their favorite actor, musician, athlete, or author personally delivering order. Click here for a view of the "Special Deliveries" that have occured already, including Jason Alexander, Michael J. Fox, and Anna Kournikova. No Dave Matthews Band yet (keep ordering).

Kinda nifty.

They all will as long as they stay together another 10 years. You need to be together for 25 years to qualify.

that's not fair. single artists don't have to work on staying together. just making up shitty songs that old people will want to listen to and boom...you're in. coughrodstewartcough

I know it, its BS. I think they will make it though, the LWS didn't tear them apart and since they have consistently wussed out in the studio since then I don't see a reason for them to break up.

It will only happen if they take a hiatus but never actually "break up"

I can see where this is going so Ill go ahead and give you a premature "You're gay"

and besides. it's based off of sales. you have to think about where peole buy their stuff. no one bought elvis from amazon. norah jones just came out. amazon has always been there for her. i'll bet she sold a shit load, then after she won a million grammy's she sold three times that much. and i'd bet close to half of her sales were from amazon.
