Best Answer

Michael Jackson's Thriller, with around 110 million copies sold (more than double the nearest rival), is the best selling album of all time to date.

Although Thriller is one of the best selling albums of all time, it is the best selling STUDIO album. The best selling album of all time and best selling album by a group is the Eagles - Greatest Hits (1971 - 1975), although Thriller and The Eagles greatest hits both went 29 times platinum.

Answer

Michael Jackson's Thriller is known to have sold over 109 million units worldwide. That's probably very low, because in some countries where copyright isn't enforced record stores will dub albums onto cassette then sell the cassettes without reporting the sale. That's still not bad--109 million is over twice that of the number-two Back in Black by AC/DC.

The Eagles with the album Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 sold 29 million copies, which is the best-selling record of all times. On second place, there is Michael Jackson with Thriller.

The bestselling album of all time is Michael Jackson's 'Thriller', released in 1984. The bestselling single of all time is Bing Crosby's 'White Christmas', which first appeared in 1942 in the soundtrack of the musical holiday Inn. It was briefly overtaken as bestseller in 1997 by Elton John's re-working of his song 'Candle In The Wind' that he reworded as a tribute to the late Princess Diana after her death, although it's popularity was very brief and 'White Christmas' has re-taken the lead since then.

Michael Jackson - Thriller

Some say it had sold up to 100 million copies before he had died. I'm sure it's way over that now...
