Best Selling Album By Male Artists Ever

[GMFlop]

[Jordan Miller]

MJ

[Blackout2006]

The way Britney outsold the top 30 with Oops!...I Did It Again (25-26 million) and Top 20 with Baby One More Time (30.6 million)

[Blackout2006]

Also m surprised Prince 1999 album isnt here...how much copies did it sell?

[Blackout2006]

Also there is so much hype to the Dark side of the moon album and m thinking of listening to it to broaden my music taste. Anyone here whom has heard the album, is it worth a listen?

There is some amazing music on this list!!! My man the #GOAT #MichaelJackson taking it home!!! I didn't even realize Thriller sold that many, I thought it was somewhere in the 65 million range!! Incredible from the King of Pop!!

 

 

[Stefani]

MJ and Prince.

Now I finally know where your icons come from @GMFlop

If I'm being 100% honest, Michael Jackson is the only artist I care about on this list

The way my king JT is not even on the list. I feel personally attacked and offended lmao (kidding)   At least *NSYNC is 46 so yay. But I thought they sold much more than the BSB

BSB were worldwide, *nsync was more USA.

Of course records sold in general more back in the day. MJ couldn't land a hit today of he wanted or was alive

It has sold 66 million copies, 75 million is kind of inflated

Lol I wouldn't say that. His fanbase is quite huge and still the kind of fans that go and buy the physical copy unlike celebs like Ariana who rely on streaming numbers and pure sales count more than streams.

It’s great - it’s an odd combination of mellow and trippy rock. Definitely a huge shift from the pop usually showcased here. I have to be in the right mood to listen to it, but it can be pretty transportive when it hits right.

I might be alone here, but there are about 5 or 6 Prince albums I prefer to any of MJ’s albums.
 

Purple Rain is a masterpiece.
