Most of the biggest-selling acts of the last decade weren't American, so they wouldn't show up on that map.
According to this site:
https://chartmasters.org/2020/01/bes...-of-the-2010s/, Eminem, Bruno Mars, and Taylor Swift are the only acts in the Top-10 best-selling of the 2010s that are American (and all three are on the map for their respective States). The rest of the top-10 are 3 from the UK, 2 from Canada, and one each from Barbados and South Korea.
Other top-selling American acts are either from California (Katy Perry, Maroon 5) or New York (Post Malone, Lady Gaga) and they're not taking down The Eagles or Mariah Carey. The recent country acts are mostly from the Southern States and they're not going to pass the likes of George Strait, Tina Turner, Kanye, or Elvis any time soon.
