Please tell me Adele's 21 didn't make this -- nm - MDH Jul 27, 22:17 4
- My favorite stat is that there have only been a dozen albums in the last decade to sell more than 5 million copies, and Adele and Taylor combine for 5 -- nm - Tim Jul 27, 22:21

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours, AC/DC - Back in Black are on there. - Tim Jul 27, 22:14 3
- Worldwide, as of 2016, based on RIAA "units sold". nm - ralph wiggum Jul 27, 22:17 1
  - Digging into this a bit further, it looks like RIAA counts each disc in a double set as a "unit", weighing the stats towards double albums. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 27, 22:30
- *Looks down high fives you* -- nm - MDH Jul 27, 22:14
