Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: T_Roxie on November 25, 2006, 05:02:04 PM Strange...the list is a mix of pure class and pure crap...
Also, you'd think people who bought UYI would buy UYII. Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: Hysteron on November 25, 2006, 05:02:47 PM Strange...the list is a mix of pure class and pure crap... It's still the most true list, you'll ever read. Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: T_Roxie on November 25, 2006, 05:03:52 PM Strange...the list is a mix of pure class and pure crap... It's still the most true list, you'll ever read. No, i believe you, just peoples tastes are strange. Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: BlowUpYourVideo on November 25, 2006, 05:04:40 PM Ooh, I have 10 of those. I always thought UYI II sold more than UYI I, but I guess I'm wrong.
Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: CheapJon on November 25, 2006, 05:09:09 PM what are all the numbers next to the record meaning, the first position second how many millions sold but what are the others? how many thousands and so on?
Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: Hysteron on November 25, 2006, 05:11:12 PM what are all the numbers next to the record meaning, the first position second how many millions sold but what are the others? how many thousands and so on? 001 54 26 00.0 THRILLER Michael Jackson (1983) 001 means it's number 1 on this list, 54 says how much it's sold worldwide, and 26 says how much it's sold in the US. Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: Dirty Little Thing on November 25, 2006, 05:34:03 PM Damn, I didn't know Bat out of hell ranked so high... Pretty cool list though, thanks for posting. : ok:
Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: D on November 25, 2006, 06:52:55 PM USe Your Illusion 1 had more hits, November Rain, Dont Cry, so i say it sold more largely in part to NR.
Glad to see Slippery When Wet on that list at number 32. NO one is ever beating Thriller. Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: CheapJon on November 25, 2006, 07:52:42 PM in 5 years chinese democracy has made that list
Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: Eazy E on November 25, 2006, 09:50:47 PM NO one is ever beating Thriller. Well if you look at the third column you'll see that The Eagles Greatest Hits has already passed Thriller in the U.S.... but yeah, Thriller will probably never be beaten worldwide. Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: D on November 25, 2006, 09:55:16 PM I cant believe Bon Jovi New Jersey didnt make the list. I thought it sold about 8 million in the US... must of barely missed the cut.

I have 25. I think UYI 2 opened at 1, while UYI1 opened at 2.....but I guess one passed 2 at some point.... Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: D on November 28, 2006, 02:16:36 AM kinda makes u more sad when u see how many albums GNR have sold and realize what they could've done had they kept it together.
I cant believe Kiss have only 19 million. they've released almost 35 albums. Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: Izzy on November 28, 2006, 03:11:54 AM This list is as daft as all the others - you are comparing albums that have had a 40 year head start on others!
...not to mention the obvious point that if you think sales relate to album quality than your a muppet, but hey maybe Thriller is the best album of all time :confused: Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: D on November 28, 2006, 04:19:24 AM I got to lookin on the RIAA sight and Appetite hasnt been updated 1998.
Slippery when wet hasnt been updated since 96 so its probably over 14 million by now. Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: Izzy on November 28, 2006, 09:24:45 AM I got to lookin on the RIAA sight and Appetite hasnt been updated 1998. Slippery when wet hasnt been updated since 96 so its probably over 14 million by now. The RIAA are a rather sloppy bunch, Mj's Dangerous album hasnt been updated since 1994 - it came out in 91! 30 odd million in three years, pretty darn good! Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: Hysteron on November 28, 2006, 01:46:13 PM This list is as daft as all the others - you are comparing albums that have had a 40 year head start on others! ...not to mention the obvious point that if you think sales relate to album quality than your a muppet, but hey maybe Thriller is the best album of all time :confused: I don't recall this being the 100 greatest albums of all time list. Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: freedom78 on November 30, 2006, 12:50:03 AM A good list of REAL numbers, but a there are a few problems:
The number of people buying albums has increased dramatically, because of changes in economies, lifestyles, and simple population increases. So, the biggest selling album of 2000 has a natural advantage over the biggest seller of 1970, for example. Also, weren't 7" singles a more common way to buy music a few decades back (50s 60s?). Probably had an effect. It's the same way you always have new boxoffice records for movies. Yeah, because more people exist now than when Casa-fuckin'-blanca came out and tickets cost more! Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: NicoRourke on November 30, 2006, 04:52:49 AM I cant believe Bon Jovi New Jersey didnt make the list. I thought it sold about 8 million in the US... must of barely missed the cut. Strange that Cross Road isn't there either ??? It was also a massive hit. Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: Rocksteady on November 30, 2006, 11:17:58 AM Were all these people buying "The Bodyguard" Soundtrack just because of the Whitney Houston song, or were there other hits on it? ???
Title: Re: 100 Best Selling Albums Of All Time Post by: Jim on November 30, 2006, 11:25:07 AM It's the same way you always have new boxoffice records for movies. Yeah, because more people exist now than when Casa-fuckin'-blanca came out and tickets cost more! Box office records in as far as price, not necesarily people going to see the movie. I'm pretty sure that Gone With the Wind is still the most watched movie at the cinema, that is that the most people went to see it...... ... But hey. I could be wrong.

It was pretty much just that song. But it was all over the place back then. And females from 15-50 were into it, so it had a mass appeal. Yeah, these get distorted because not only do the older one's have a head start, but they get duplicate purchases for people switching mediums (Records to Cassette's, cassette's to CD etc). That said, I'm sure a ton of people bought Slippery When Wet in the last couple years, as back in the late 80's the originally had it on tape. Figured during his resurgence get it on CD. Although like Atari Legend II said, it's a 'best selling' list, so take the numbers for what they're worth.
