Currently, the number of artists worldwide remains unknown. As a result, it is still impossible to count all the albums released for each of them. Especially since most of the time, it's only the most famous albums that matter the most. Indeed, some albums of famous artists still remain unknown until today. Only big fans know them, or not. Usually, it's only the bands that have released the best albums that get attention. Therefore, only the number of albums of the most famous groups is counted. Precisely for these reasons, we are going to state in this article the list of the top 3 of the most popular albums of all time. It should be noted that among this list, the record for the group having released the most albums goes to AC/DC.
1- “Thriller” by Michael Jackson
It's not amazing if the 1time place goes to the King of Pop. Indeed, with his 6th album entitled "Thriller", Mickael Jackson managed to sell around 60 million copies in the United States alone. It can thus be named as the best album of all time. The story does not end there. Indeed, thanks to this explosion of sales, he also managed to sell his famous red leather jacket for the sum of 1.8 billion dollars in 2011. Admittedly, Mickael Jackson did not release the most albums since he only released 10 studio albums and 3 live. But on the other hand, it holds the record for the best album of all time.
2- “Back in Black” by AC/DC
Since its creation in 1973 until today, the number of albums released by the AC/DC group is 16. However, two of these have only been released in Oceania. It is important to note that "Back in Black" is also the 6th album of the group which left July 25, 1980. The number of copies sold is around 50 million. If this album is very appreciated, it is especially because of the guitar solo which will remain forever incomparable for the fans. Aside from that, the lyrics also allude to succeeding in getting back up after several successive failures. It should be remembered that during this period, the group had just lost "Bon Scott" who was the previous singer.
3- “Dark Side of the Moon” by Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd will forever mark the history of music with its album entitled "Dark Side of the Moon". Indeed, among the 15 studio albums of the group, it will be the eighth that will be the most successful with the 45 million copies sold worldwide. "Dark Side of the Moon" was released by Harvest Records on the 1er March 1973. As the title "the dark side of the moon" translates, the album will speak of death, greed, conflicts, but also of mental illness. This last subject will refer to the former member of the group called "Syd Barrett" who left Pink Floyd in 1968.
