This page will show the most sold albums are of all time

First off, I think of the best statiscal albums as the albums with the most about of copies sold. I also belive that comercial sucsess dosent mean that its a good or bad album, but for the sake of stats, we will just say that "the most copies sold" willbe the determining factor.

The top 5 albums are:

  1. Michael Jackson - Thriller (47.3m)
  2. Eagles - Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)(41.2m)
  3. Shania Twain - Come On Over (29.6m)
  4. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (27.9m)
  5. Whitney Houston - The Bodyguard (28.4m)

A bit about Thriller

If we go by certified sales only, Michael Jackson's Thriller remains the indisputed champion by far. Released in 1982, it was a weird transition time for music when Disco and Funk were on the way out and Rock and Pop were on the way in. Michael took advantage of all four genres to create the best-selling album of all time.
