Eagles’ ‘Greatest Hits’ Overtakes Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ As Best-Selling Album

Ted

Enjoy ! The Eagles officially have the best-selling album of all time. Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 has overtaken Michael Jackson‘s Thriller, reclaiming the top spot nearly a decade after the King of Pop’s death.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) recently recalculated sales of the best-of collection and certified the LP as 38x platinum, pushing the 33x platinum Thriller to second place, the Associated Press reports. The RIAA confirmed the new certifications to Rolling Stone.

The RIAA last tallied Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975‘s totals in 2006, when the album was 29x platinum; since then, streaming and digital downloads have dominated the music industry. Greatest Hits‘ new certification takes into account total streams, downloads and traditional sales since 2006. Thriller‘s totals were reportedly updated in 2017.

Eagles Greatest Hits:

Crash

Way better than little Mikey's "Thriller." And, I would add to their best: the Eagles' cover of the Tom Waits song, "Old '55." The opening shows Ship Rock, in the northwest corner of New Mexico. There are a lotta vast, wide open and beautiful vistas in that State.

Just listened to the live, acoustic version of Hotel California just yesterday. Good stuff.

My fav album of theirs is "Hell Freezes Over " live album 1994, title was based on Don Henley's comment when asked in 1980 if they will ever get back together , and he said "when hell freezes over".

@Crash. + 1. The cab scene was great. And the cab driver so passionate about the Eagles? Not likely.
