ok, a little game here.
for those who don't already know the answer, write down which 3 albums you think are at the top of the "best selling albums list" of all times.

if you can make it to ten, then go ahead!

answer later on...

it's got to be 3 really horrible or unexpectedthings

I will guess on something like

Oral Roberts - why god hates your queer son
Backstreet Boys - I am your son
Chairman Mao - luke, I am your father

something like that.

right now to google it

-------------------------
damn, I was way off.

I thought it would be something religeous that didn't feature in standard chartings, something really pop and terrible that had an unexpected following somewhere. And finally something Chinese because they have a large market that most western types would be unaware of.

Pink Floyd : Dark Side of the moon
AC/DC: Back in Black
Michael Jackson: Thriller

I'm not advocating them, but I think these three are at least in the top 6 though, not sure if the top 3.

Kenny G and Kenny Rogers hold the 39th and the 40th position, both with 12 million sales.

Kenny and Kenny. Coincidence? I think not!

Since you own both catalogs and listen to them extensively, can you tell us how they have influenced you, and more importantly, how those influences are found in Soundwrecks?

I'm not so surprised about the top 10... but Hootie and the Blowfish are number 14??? Who buys Hootie and the Blowfish albums? Or is the list I looked at a total fake?
