Top 50 Best Selling Albums Of All Time 

I feel like compilations and greatest hits should be excluded from these types of lists because it isn’t a cohesive project, it’s 90% radio hits and then the occasional fan favorite track

The Dark Side Of The Moon was 736 weeks straight in the billboard charts. From 1973 to 1988. That's insane!! Shine on 💎

MJ really had 3 albums in the top 15 best selling albums of all time. That's absolute insanity.

let's be honest we all knew that thriller was the first one

In an alternate universe where The Blue Album by Weezer is the most sold album

66M is certified sales rate , the actual sales rate of thriller is above 100M (According to RIAA) . Michael Jackson have 3 albums in top 15 . Thriller the best selling album of all time in the world. Michael Jackson is something else .... THE TRUE LEGEND AND KING OF MUSIC , DANCE AND ENTERTAINMENT . MJ FOREVER....

Michael had 3 album in top 15, and he only had 10 album (just 6 when he was adult) YES KING BEHAVIOR❤️‍🔥

Led Zeppelin IV is a masterpiece

Not sure why but I kinda expected Night at the Opera to be on this list.

Where's Celine Dion album ? Falling into You 1995 . This album reached 32 million copies. Let's talk about love : that's right 31 million copies. WHY IS YOUR DATA INVALID???

Appetite For Destruction is a Master Piece

Hybrid theory is the best selling debut album of the 21st century

MJ is the greatest of all time🔥

ofc michael is #1, that’s how great he was

Back In Black: #2 Proud rock n roller here!

Thriller is over 70 million copies now

Adele did that in the 2010s decade. 21 is also the best selling album of the 21st century and longest running female album in Billboard of all time

Bat Out of Hell outsold Dark Side?! Tbh that surprised me

1)clicked this video for MJ and Queen👑 2) not surprised THRILLER is at #1 & I'm so proud of Michael Jackson for his amazing career❤ 3) A NIGHT AT THE OPERA was so successful and has one of the most known song BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, so im mad at how people didnt purchase that beautiful album.😞 4)Still proud of Queen for being on that list🤗❤ 5) shook that the most successful band in history, THE BEATLES, only had 2 albums in that list.😤 6)very proud of the Beatles for their career🤗❤

A Night At The Opera Be Like "Hello I am Under The Water"

MJ The Greatest Music Artist To Ever Live The King Of Music 3 Albums Of His In The Top 15👊🏽👑🔥🌟💯

are we going to ignore the fact that "grease" sold more coppies then "Led Zeppelin IV or "sgt. peppers lonely hearts club band" smh...

Michael Jackson's Dangerous was certainly my childhood album, U2's Joshua Tree is my favourite, When Bullet The Blue Sky starts to play after those hit songs it's pretty cool. Luckily seen them live a few times.

Michael Jackson ❤️

Breaks my heart not to see Revolver or Rubber soul in here

Nowadays you can't get that much because of the internet itself, one person buying then uploading it to internet then thousands of people can listen and download it for free

There is an info from more than 10 years ago that greatest hits by queen sold 25 million copies. Surely now it has sold at least 27 million.

How in the absolute hell does meatloaf outsell dark side of the moon? That is crazy to me.

Damn Meatloaf surprised me!! Dude deserves much recognition than he already gets.

I know I've seen bat out of hell by meatloaf everywhere but I really didn't expect it to be the 3 best selling album ever

21 being the only album from 21st century wow

No one talks about MJ

like how guns n roses, ac/dc, and metallica are in here

I like all of those albums but pink floyd's dark side of the moon is really different i think their music makes me so trippy and i loved it

The fact that Linkin park is in the list proves the band is a TRUE legend of rock along side 80s rock bands RIP legend....but legends never die

Love the fact that the Beatles are on here more times than any other artist

Any Queen album is immaculate

Back in Black is a masterpiece ! Brilliant Rock Tunes and the ultimate Driving or Shagging Album!

Let’s just remember this is based on sales, not how good the album is. I’m still set on Sgt Peppers being the greatest album ever. With A Little Help From My Friends, A Day In The Life, When I’m 64, so many amazing songs.

The King desurves his place at the top

I'm glad to see brothers in arms so high up. Dire Sraits is hands down one of the best bands of all time.

Me waiting for Night at the opera be like 🙂

The Bodyguard Album of Whitney Houston is the no. 1 of all female artists.

I love this vids 💕

I did not expect Bat Out Of Hell to be this high on this list? Did it really sell *that* well?!

The Dark Side of the Moon 🌑Is my favorite album of this list and of all time! Although there is a lot I Also love as well

A good video like every video from you

I thought Dookie and Master of Puppets would be here too, but I guess I was wrong

MEATLOAF good music good food

Beatles are masterpeaces❤️

In an alternate universe where Def Leppard's Hysteria is actually on the list. Sold at least 25 million copies, I'm pretty sure

That Shania Twain album at #9 surprised me

I'll be sure to listen to all of them now.

Notice how 50% or more of these albums were rock stars? That's cause rock isn't dead! (And also this is pre-streaming, when one listen was equivalent to one album vs now where like 3,750 streams is equivalent to one album.)

Feliz de ver a Bon Jovi en esta lista🤘🏻

I didn't expect greatest hits albums in here, and was surprised not to see Life After Death and All Eyez on Me on here

Yes, brothers in arms a masterpiece

Big up Acca Dacca

Petition to not include live and/or compilation/greatest hits albums on these lists since they're pretty much guaranteed to sell like butter

U2 The Joshua Tree, my favorite from this whole list ❤

One thing to remember is modern albums have a an advantage because more people are alive

Great to see Fleetwood Mac and Shania Twain Mj Etc on here. Some people would only say rock and roll belongs but I don’t know why they are always so bent out of shape over that

Nice

Dark Side of the Moon should be number one 🎸

Adele doing that in 2011 is kinda crazy

Are we just going to ignore that 95% of the pop albums here do not deserve to be here

Back In Black⚡️ My Personal all time favorite album

Before taking a look, my guess for number one is one of Adele's albums, probably her "21" album. Edit: wow, only 17th that's surprising hahaha

Sdh ku agak Thriller mesti no1

I'm so grateful that I was brought up listening to the music of the 60s,70s,80s and early 90s. I learned how music should sound. It has soul, appeal, genuine talent.

irrefutable facts: you expected thriller in first and back in black in second, but you have no idea what bat out of hell is

Who else was fully expecting A Night At The Opera

Faith - George Michael 🤩

Kinda surprised seeing all the comments saying AC/DC is overrated

I love music box, my most favorite out of all of them, and the most beautiful album of all time.

Whitney Houston’s self-titled album sold 25M copies and its missing on the list

Is this vinyls or cds?

Bon Jovi - SWW Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction Glam metal rocks !

I feel like most of these artists sold more of these albums than are listed

Nirvana - Nevermind album is my number 1.

The black album is my favorite

Where is Celine Dion's 'Falling Into You', her biggest selling album ever, which would be around 35M sales by now??

I had NO idea Meatloaf sold that many albums, what the hell?

I guess a night at the opera doesn't exist even though bohemian rhapsody is on the album

In an alternative universe, risk by megadeth sold over 100 million copies

Отлично

If all that albums came out this year. I think nirvana's nevermind no brainer the numero uno. The music is timeless🤟🎵🖤

Esta sección de comentarios da mucho de que hablar

How they included the greatest hits by queen , and don't included "A night at the opera "?

Come on over is my favorite 🥰🥰

Led Zeppelin

How is Hotel California not in this list. It has sold 26 milion copies alone in the USA!!!

MJ KING

Any1 not gonna talk abt clapton and straits? Best artist (My Opinion)

Seeing Appetite For Destruction here made me realise how much of an impact GnR had. Then I saw how high Back In Black and The Black Album Were. Wow

Alanis Morisette over Queen, Metallica, Michael Jackson and The Beatles. Wow the 90s ugh...

0:53 ; that's Hybrid Theory for you R.I.P Chesterbe ❤️

DSOTM now is No.4. Not so long, it will become No. 1.
