	This quiz was inspired by Albums A-Z at http://www.sporcle.com/games/enough/albums_az.

	PublicEnemy:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 21:43 GMT	-2 points
	Best albums on this list are Rumours, Dark Side of the Moon and Hybrid theory.

	danntara:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 23:38 GMT	4 points
	Led Zeppelin IV is my favourite of this lists, along with dark side of the moon.

	ncr1119:	Oct 17th, 2010 at 03:37 GMT	1 point
	In my opinion, the best album on here is The Dark Side of the Moon, followed by Back in Black and Nevermind. I never was much of a Zeppelin fan (cue the negative points).

	"L" is very questionable since officially the album is untitled. Next would be another Celine album, "Let's Talk About Love" "O" should probably "1" (one) by the Beatles. And shouldn't "W" be "The Wall"?

	rockgolf:	Oct 21st, 2010 at 17:21 GMT	1 point
	Also, Tina Turner's "Private Dancer" and Prince's "Purple Rain" are also listed at 20 million sales. They only appear lower on the list because ties are broken by alphabetical order of artist name.

	rockgolf:	Oct 21st, 2010 at 17:23 GMT	1 point
	Similarly, Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall" is effectively tied with Britney.

	@rockgolf - Hmmm. I had "1" as a bonus answer but figured that with the artist names here it wouldn't be necessary, and that I should go with the way the name of the album is actually written ("1" not "One"). I will change W to The Wall. Not sure what to do about the ties you've brought up - do you think I should have all of them on here? I think I'd rather keep it to one album per letter.

	rockgolf:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 10:55 GMT	1 point
	The clue on P & O could read "TIE: Artist 1/Artist 2" and allow either answer.

	TheLuggage:	Oct 23rd, 2010 at 17:49 GMT	5 points
	why only 18 answers? there are eight more letters in the alphabet.

	lukebradford:	Oct 25th, 2010 at 01:11 GMT	1 point
	@TheLuggage - It's difficult to find accurate numbers - if anyone knows of a good and accurate list that includes the best-selling 'X' album, I'd be happy to include it.

	EyeKanFly:	Oct 25th, 2010 at 23:30 GMT	1 point
	You should include data for how many records they've sold. I'd either put it in the artist column or the album column, so the answer would read "Back in Black (49)" and have a note in the beginning saying that numbers are in the millions

	millandas:	Oct 26th, 2010 at 02:47 GMT	4 points
	I missed Celine Dion, Madonna, and the Backstreet Boys. I have absolutely no regrets.

	G2M2010:	Oct 31st, 2010 at 00:58 GMT	1 point
	Lose the compilations.

	mulv:	Nov 29th, 2010 at 00:35 GMT	1 point
	Can't find any numbers on sales besides Wikipedia pages (and those are relatively old numbers for both the albums in question), but it seems like Zooropa by U2 sold more than the Hellogoodbye album.
