Michael Jackson - Thriller (1983)
Copies Sold: 54 Million
Though no-one can give a definitive number, Thriller is considered by most all accounts to be the best selling album of all-time, with over an estimated fifty-four million copies sold worldwide and multiple number one hits.

AC/DC - Back In Black (1980)
Copies Sold: 42 Million
After Bon Scott's death it was questionable whether AC/DC could reach previous levels of success, but with the song writing started while Bon was still alive, and Brian Johnson taking over the mic, AC/DC were indeed Back in Black.

The Eagles - Greatest Hits 1971-75 (1976)
Copies Sold: 41 Million
Released in 1976, it was the first album to receive platinum status and to date is the best selling album of all-time in the United States at almost thirty million copies, and worldwide has achieved over forty million in sales.

Soundtrack - Saturday Night Fever (1978)
Copies Sold: 40 Million
The number one best-selling soundtrack of all-time, primarily recorded by the Bee Gees, was equally helped by the enormous popularity of the movie starring John Travolta. For a moment the disco era was mainstream.

Soundtrack - The Bodyguard (1992)
Copies Sold: 37 Million
One of the most successful films in history also produced one of the most successful soundtracks. Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" helped bring the album to number five all-time worldwide.

Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell (1978)
Copies Sold: 37 Million
After every record label refused to pick up the album, Cleveland International Records decided to take a chance. After an appearance on Saturday Night Live, the album started to receive huge fanfare in America and eventually the world.

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon (1973)
Copies Sold: 35 Million
Though this post Syd Barrett conceptual album focusing on the human experience stayed at number one for only one week on The Billboard 200, amazingly it managed to stay on the chart itself for a record fourteen consecutive years until 1988.

Shania Twain - Come On Over (1997)
Copies Sold: 35 Million
This is the biggest selling album by a female solo artist, and is due to the successful team collaboration of the highly talented Shania and her husband, producer/writer Robert "Mutt" Lange, the producer for AC/DC's "Back in Black" (see above).

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)
Copies Sold: 32 Million
Considered by many to be the most influential rock album ever, this ground-breaker came at the end of the Beatlemania craze. The Beatles, who were no longer touring, took major leaps in the studio by incorporating new sounds and recording styles into their music.

Copies Sold: 32 Million
The best-selling soundtrack for the movie included many hit singles such as "Hungry Eyes", as sung by Eric Carmen, and an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "(I've Had) The Time of My Life", sung by the duet of Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.
