With the recent upsurge of Creed's My Own Prison album in the African American community, I imagine it is within range of those albums.

I assumed Tha'Riller was the top one but never would have guessed Shania Twain being on this list.

RE: Top 10 Biggest-Selling Albums of All-Time (Global Sales)
With the advent of digital music I can't see any album at any time in the future ever moving Thriller out of the top spot because no one buys albums anymore. I've purchased roughly 400 songs in the last decade and only 2 were entire albums that I can recall. And one of those albums was to get a single song that wasn't sold individually so I was forced to buy the entire album.

The Bodyguard soundtrack????

Which is a shame because there are some other great tracks on it. My mom was obsessed with that movie and bought the soundtrack. I heard it on many road trips as a child.

Plus, Dolly's version is so much better.

Dolly's version is far superior but Whitney's isn't bad. I don't hate it and I have even enjoyed it at times. But no one can hold a candle to the way Dolly sang it.
