Ace of Base? Christ.

I always thought Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits was much higher than that. Certainly should be.

Very good shout 'Soundtrack to The Lion King'.

Fleetwood Mac represent y'all.

Take that Billy Joel!

I'm surprised Who Made Who (AC/DC Album) made the list.

It had 3 new songs...and only ONE of them had lyrics!

They weren't even GOOD Songs......

I take it this is confined to America?

Shania Twain so high is pretty fucked up...

Oh, and I have no idea where you see Back in Black so high. According to that website you gave for a source, it's tied with Rumours and others for 6th.

Lol, guys, I'm sure he just couldn't count that great. No big deal, it's not like he said they were 5th and they're actually like 20th or anything.

[apsham]

No, there's bands in totally wrong places.

Where did you hear about it in the first place then? I didn't see anything about it on their news page either.

Is there anywhere to see how many records were sold. I mean 5th is cool and whatnot, but if I could, I wouldn't mind seeing a number.

And since when had the Eagles outsold Jackson?
