The best selling albums of all time

Few albums I was surprised to see on there.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

So the best selling rap album of all time is MC Hammer, and 2nd is Big's Life After Death? That's a surprise for me.

Big really only did 5 million (riaa doubles the numbers for double albums)....

MC Hammer is the king!

Michael Jackson has the highest numbers worldwide with Thriller (46 million). These figures are just US Sales...

2Pac doesn't have the Best Selling Rap Album of all time but he is still by far the Best Selling Rapper Ever with more than 38 Million Sold in the US alone.

Try over 50 million.

AEOM was certified 9 x platinum almost 7 years ago, and has been a steady catalog seller since. It has passed BIGs Life after Death and MC Hammers album most likely.

yeah that's what i was thinking because i heard AEOM had gone diamond but that was years ago.  I'm pretty sure it passed Hammers and BIGs albums
