Nevermind by Nirvana and Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park need to be moved to the 30-39 million records sold section respectively. Nevermind has 30 million claimed sales (seen on MTV and the album's Wiki page); Hybrid Theory has 32 million claimed sales (seen on the album's Wiki page) 184.96.215.24 (talk) 14:57, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Nevermind and Hybrid Theory: Relevant citations?
Saw a previous comment requesting Nevermind be moved to the 30-39 million records section without any specification, so I'll try to do this as good as I can.
Replace the previous citation for Nevermind[1] with this one.[2] As for Hybrid Theory I didn't find a citation to go with the 32 million copies claim, but a quick Google search digs up at least three links that mention this?

I want to bring some information about The Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall. According to Pink Floyd's website, DSOTM sold 50 million copies, citing https://www.pinkfloyd.com/tdsotm50/. Also, according to BestSellingAlbums.org and Sony Music Japan, The Wall sold 33 million copies. https://bestsellingalbums.org/album/36336. Youcanlaugh (talk) 20:42, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Best-selling album by year worldwide
I agree with @Apoxyomenus: that this list should be its own article. Unlike the main best-selling albums page, the list of best selling albums by year has the potential to be a FL. Erick (talk) 00:01, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. I previously suggested a split in one thread a few months ago. But thanks to open this thread for the record, and maybe, some users could bring their opinion/approval/disapproval. I see a split worthy because the current list feels a bit long and the data is annually provided by IFPI, plus now, we have three different decades (2000s to 2020s) and can be a single topic and a stand alone list. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 00:27, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- At the least, I think we could start a draft and use Billboard Hot Latin Songs Year-End Chart and List of best-selling albums in the United Kingdom as the basis for the article. Erick (talk) 04:25, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
Iron Maiden's 1982 album "The Number of the Beast" should be added to this list. It has sold over 20 million copies. My source is linked and is a complete breakdown of their entire discography by album sales. If you scroll down to the section called "Albums CSPC Results", you can see the original release has 19.078 million Equivalent Album Sales (EAS), whilst the 1998 remaster has 1,017,000 EAS. Metallica's self-titled 1991 album is already on here and rightly so, but they're not the only metal band that should be on this list!

The Wikipedia article for The Number of the Beast also reiterates the albums sales figure with multiple sources - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Number_of_the_Beast_(album) Grojnad (talk) 19:21, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
