There have been so many amazing albums sold worldwide but here is a list of the best selling albums of all time:

1.) Thriller- michael Jackon

2.) Back in Black- ACDC

3.) Dark Side of the moon- Pink Floyd

4.) The Bodyguard- whitney houston

5.) Bat out of hell- Meat loaf

6.) Eagles Greatest Hits- Eagles

7.) The Phantom of the Opera- Andrew Lloyd Webber

8.) Millennium- Backstreet Boys

I dont know if anyone will ever beat Michaels record and like I said before, he is an amazing artist with extremely good talents but I’m glad to see my boys right under him 🙂 Pink Floyd does put up a pretty hard competition though!

ACDC!!!

ACDC is one of my all time favortie bands! I got the honor of going to their concert back on November 4th and it was amazing! Those guys still sound like they did like they did in the 80’s.  They were started by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Their first album, “High Voltage”, came out in 1975. Their second album came out in 1979 and it was called “Highway to Hell” but switched bassit from Mark Evans to Cliff Williams. Sadly the lead singer, Bon Scott died on February 19th, 1980 after consuming a very large amount of alchol. Brian Johnson, the current lead singer, replaced Bon Scott and recorded their best album yet, “Back in Black”. Their album “For those about to Rock” was their first album to hit number one in the United States but when Phil Rudd was fired and Simon Wrigt took over, the bands popularity declined. Phil Rudd returned to the band in 1994. ACDC made many other albums including “Ballbreaker”, “The Razors Edge”, and “Stiff Upper Lip”. Their most recent album is “Black Ice” and their album “Iron Man 2” is set to come out on April 10th of this year. They have sold over 20o million albums and over 71 million in the United States. “Back in Black” is their biggest selling album, selling 45 million copies worldwide. It is in second place for the top selling album of all time behind michael Jackson’s “thriller”.
