Interesting... So Hotel California which last year was certified to have sold 18 million copies has suddenly leaped into third place behind Triller? 8 million copies of Hotel California sold last year?
And Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd has sold a reported 26 million copies is certified by the RIAA as only having sold 15 million... Even though it spent an astonishing 900 weeks on the top 100 selling albums?
Wonder how much the RIAA charges to make their certifications? Maybe Pink Floyd might want to make a few contributions... Not to mention the Beatles..
these updated RIAA album totals evidently reflect USA sales, downloads and streaming only, so international numbers aren’t included. All time Global Album sales numbers and chart positions haven’t changed much this decade, and PF’s superb ‘Dark Side’ remains solidly among an elite class of individual albums that have sold 40 to 50 million units.
Others include:
Fleetwood Mac ‘Rumors’
AC/DC ‘Back In Black’
Bee Gees ‘Saturday Night Fever’ OST
Whitney Houston ‘The Bodyguard’ OST
