Best albums on this list are Rumours, Dark Side of the Moon and Hybrid theory.

Led Zeppelin IV is my favourite of this lists, along with dark side of the moon.

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"?

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.

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.

The clue on P & O could read "TIE: Artist 1/Artist 2" and allow either answer.

why only 18 answers? there are eight more letters in the alphabet.

@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.

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

I missed Celine Dion, Madonna, and the Backstreet Boys. I have absolutely no regrets.

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.
