Fluxtumblr: Top 10 Albums of the SoundScan Era
These are the Top 10 best-selling albums since Nielsen SoundScan began recording sales data in 1991 up through 1/1/2012. It’s amazing to think that it wasn’t very long ago that records could still sell on this level. These days it’s a miracle to sell a million records. (See also, for contrast.)
Get off your computer, friends! Get thee to a record store! Touch some wax, bring it home and feel all better.
