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

Even weirder: I was 11 years old when "Superman" came out in 1978, and for reasons I can't recall/explain, we referred to that movie's Otis character as "Otis Oatmeal"!

 

I own the "1" CD solely because they included it with the Blu-ray music video compilation.

Though IIRC, that CD uses remixes of all the songs, which makes it different than the album or single versions.

So if I'm right, there is some reason to own it even if you have the albums!

 

Adele the most recent? She did well.

Tim

 

Or maybe they do won it and jus' don't know it. ;-)

 

It wouldn't surprise me, considering the size of the collections that some people here claim to have. Not only is it physically impossible for them to have heard everything they own, even remembering whether or not they own it would be a challenge.

 

4

Ac/Dc - Back in Black
Led Zeppelin - IV
Eagles - Their Greatest Hits
Eagles - Hotel California

There are others that I have owned in the past.

 

22

 

Seven.
There are some of those that I don't own that I wouldn't turn down for free, but don't like them enough to pay money for them.

 

Seven:

Michael Jackson - Thriller
Led Zeppelin- IV
Michael Jackson - Bad
Michael Jackson- Dangerous
The Beatles - Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Madonna - The Immaculate Collection
ABBA - Gold: Greatest Hits

 

12

My born in the USA walked away...never replaced

 

Se7en

 

Own seven but really only care to listen to three anymore, and even those not often.

In order of turntable time:
Dark Side of the Moon
Bat Out of Hell
Zep IV
Rumors
Back in Black
Hotel California
Eagles Greatest

 

7

 

Yes, one domestic, two international, the last of which got released over here.

 

I have just about half of them, but like ABBA, I don't have greatest hits but I have all the albums.

 

You’re right about that. I completely forgot that I had rebought Back In Black after my original copy went missing. Make that 17 of these.

 

Depends on how you look at it, really.

 

Seven

 

Exactly 10.

 

Five - Dark Side of The Moon, Born in the USA and the three Beatles titles.

I have Absolute Abba which is a pre cd era compilation, slightly more songs than Gold, so never felt the need to replace it. Likewise, I have an Eagles comp, but not the one on the list.

I've owned Rumours, but don't anymore. There are other albums on the list (eg Bat Out of Hell) I don't own but could sing every word, and air guitar every solo from my student days 30 years ago. Being the biggest sellers, I guess they are so ubiquitous many of us don't feel the need to own a copy.

 

20 for sure and I wouldn't be surprised if I have CD's of all of them amongst a couple of boxes a friend gave me.

 

I have 7, I want 3 others.

 

Thriller
Back in Black
Bad
Dark Side
Eagles greatest hits
IV
Hotel California
Born in the USA
Dangerous
Immaculate

Never cared about the other ones

 

9 as well.

ALL Classic Rock Lps in the List 1967-1980, except Meat Loaf and Bruce...

Sgt. Pepper's thru Back In Black.

Nothing after 1980!


Cheers,

 

That’s pretty much what I have, the only thing later than Back In Black is Beatles 1 — which contains later-day remixes of old songs

For years I’ve meant to pick up a copy of Thriller but I already feel familiar with it through radio play
