Top 25 Biggest Selling Albums Of All Time - How Many Do You Own?

2

 

none, but I have all the songs from the ABBA one.

 

I'm not really a fan of Celine Dion but there's no denying she's got an excellent voice.

 

What's had the shepherd's crook?

 

21 I do not own Dirty Dancing, The Body Guard or the Celine Dion albums

 

Seven, including the five highest-scoring entries.

 

No, I never cared much for her either but I watched a few of her concert films and was pretty much blown away by her showmanship, her poise, control and utter professionalism. She has an amazing voice and she is a real "queen" with plenty of love, empathy and care for those who surround her and work for and support her.

Oh, and quite a few of her albums are quite genuinely brilliant if you give them a chance. I'm steadily working my way through her catalogue.

 

It

It’s not obvious to everyone that’s for sure. In fact, they’re doing a Juneteenth celebration downtown to include a big Michael Jackson tribute.

 

Since I just did it for the second 25, I'll put these in a quick ranking, too. The order could easily change a bit if I spent more time on this, where ideally I'd relisten to everything as I rank it, but off the cuff, my ranking would probably be something like this:

Led Zeppelin - IV
AC/DC - Back in Black
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
The Beatles - 1
Saturday Night Fever soundtrack
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Madonna - The Immaculate Collection

Eagles - Greatest Hits

I have close to 20.

 

Seems like most participants have the Baby Boomer Biggies, e.g, Beatles, Eagles, etc. An interesting metric to me is: what's the highest scoring album on this list that you do NOT have? For me, it's Led Zeppelin's IV, which as I write has 77.6 percent of the votes.

 

That is an adorable picture in your avatar.

 

That's my girl Oat!

Yesterday would've been her 29th birthday. I always update my Oatvatar on June 12!

Her eyes are closed because she hated the flash from my early 00s digital camera.

It would beep a few times before the flash went off. Oatmeal figured that out and would close her eyes right before the flash!

I have a bunch of pics where her eyes are closed because of that!

 

Including the wife's CDs in the count, I'm at 21. Excluding those, I'm at 12.

 

I have two Havanese and the 3 year old is a very similar colour to your Oatmeal. And his name is Otis…bizarre coincidence!

 

I like that. Shepherd's crook. In the US it's a plain ol' hook. AC/DC's Back In Black vinyl was sold.
