which is the most sold album in this earth?

Question

wateva the album is, i wanna listen to it and say if its worth buying it.

Answer 1

Many people are quoting US album sales. The sales as of November '06 are as follows:



1 EAGLES/THEIR GREATEST HITS 1971 - 1975 29 Million

2 THRILLER - MICHAEL JACKSON 27 Million

3 LED ZEPPELIN IV 23 Million

4 THE WALL - PINK FLOYD 23 Million

5 BACK IN BLACK - AC/DC 21 Million



The RIAA web site has a full list of the 100 biggest selling US albums.



According to Wikipedia, Thriller is the all time world-wide seller by more than 2x the runners-up. It has sold over 100 million units alone. There are no official records of these sales since there is no world-wide governing body on music sales. Regardless, the estimated sales are listed in the second link.

Answer 2

Eagles: Their Greatest Hits

Asylum | 1976 http://members.aol.com/PaulHry/music/riaa.html



actually thriller placed second.



Where can I find worldwide sales information?



Determining U.S. sales is difficult enough. Determining foreign sales is almost impossible, especially in Eastern Europe and the Pacific Rim, not to mention the vast amount of bootlegging in many countries. At least we now have Soundscan as a double check on record label's claims concerning U.S. sales. If I ever find a reliable source for worldwide sales, I'll make a web page for that. Guinness Book of World Records lists some worldwide toppers. For starters you can check out this Yahoo! news article on the best selling singles in the world. Entertainment Weekly reported in its May 1, 1998 issue that Candle in the Wind has sold 34 million copies worldwide and White Christmas has sold 30 million. I was planning to compile the random reports I see on worldwide sales, but there's just no reliable consistent source.
