Which of the top 30 highest certified albums do you own - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I found this list of the 30 biggest albums in US history in terms of certifications. Which ones do you own?

Steve M. · 12-12-2005, 12:49 AM

I own four: Hotel California, Led Zeppelin IV, Dark Side of the Moon, and Rumours.

Wait a second: Britney and Hootie are on this list but the White Album isn't? Nor is any other Beatles LP??

More proof that a record's quality can't be judged by sales figures!

judging from it's high catalog sales (500,000+ a year), it's only a matter of time before Beatles 1 makes this list. It's already nearing 11 million in scans alone (the Hootie cd is at 10.0 million Soundscan), and ususally ships are higher than the scan.

Between vinyl, cassettes and cd I have 11. I no longer have GNR's AFD because I sold it when I needed some cash. A couple of others like Alanis and the Bodyguard soundtrack, I made copies from friends so I didn't count those either. But yes, I own both of those Backstreet Boys cds.

I'll admit that I at one time owned Backstreet Boys, haha.

I only have two. Cracked Rear View: Hootie And The Blowfish, and The Bodyguard Soundtrack: Whitney Houston.

pretty ironic that thus far, #30 on the list is the one without one vote thus far.

You hear that sort of thing in a lot of places. That's not my milieu. Rock and roll is good-time music. I love rock. So did my parents.
