Top 40 selling Albums of all time

[Helmerroids]

BBC Radio 2 - Pick of the Pops - The Top 40 Best-Selling Studio Albums of All Time

A right mixed bunch, how many in your collection? 7 for me:

Jagged Little Pill
BOTW
Urban Hymns
Rumours
DSOTM
What’s the Story
Sgt. Pepper

 

[Slow joe]

11 in my collection but one of them is the spice girls

 

[shepherd88]

Adele in second place?? f***ing hell

edit: Hang on, it's also in 10th place

 

[Space Hopper]

I actually own 29 of those albums.

 

[wigwams]

Most of which are totally wank

 

[IAmZlatan]

A list that confirms that the majority of album sales are to lovers of middle of the road shite

 

[Helmerroids]

It’s billed as if it’s worldwide, must be UK only though - be a lot more American MOR stuff if it’s global sales surely..

 

[PhilSAFC]

Most of which are totally wank

Especially number 1

 

[wigwams]

Especially number 1

Nor

 

[HABA87]

Got about half, about half of which I have listened to only once.

 

[Big Duke Six]

Some epic shite on that list.

 

[Chappers]

That’s what I was thinking. Seems very Brit - centric.

No Appetite for Destruction
Back In Black
Bat Out of Hell
Hysteria

These are usually in the all time best seller lists.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Ed Sheeram but no Kate bush

 

[zwartekat]

Especially number 1

Queen fan slagging off The Beatles.

 

[Son of Stan]

I'd forgotten all about Dido! Yes I had that. Quite a boring and probably obvious mix, the only ones I still listen to are Beatles and S&G.

 

[The Great MES]

Only 2 I'm proud to say

 

[riffraff]

6
Can’t remember the last time I played any of em as the radio plays em all the time anyway.

 

[tonyfromalnwick]

Six for me, but only the best ones. The rest are shite.

 

[Le Chuck]

None but have about 10 of the worldwide ones
