With all that said, here are the top 10 best-selling albums, followed by four runners up and another six honorable mentions, which brings the total to 20. We'll only be listing certified sales numbers. And the biggest benefit goes to compilations and greatest hits records that are full of hit singles.
Older albums with re-releases or resurgences of popularity also have clear advantages.
There's also situations where double-length albums count as two sales. If those claimed sales aren't even remotely similar to those collected by the certification-awarding companies, they weren't included. Record labels and artists often post much higher claimed sales than can be certified by companies like Nielsen SoundScan and the RIAA. This list of the best-selling albums of all time has more to it than you'd might think.
