Thriller may be the best selling album of all time, but he's not the best selling artist. 10 points to whomever knows who is? Edit: I should clarify... best selling artist in the US. Michael has the world hands down.
Ok, the best selling album in the US by a solo artist is Thriller. It is also the greatest selling album ever worldwide with over 100 million sold, thats world wide.

The best selling album in the US ever, is by a group- The Eagles. The album in Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975). It sold something like 52 million copies in the US, Thriller only sold like 45 million in the US. I am going to have to look up thoes numbers but it is somewhere around there.

Pink Floyd Has the best selling double album The Wall, it sold something like 42 million.

I'm with you on that. I think it's crazy that the Eagles are that popular throughout the world. They're like closet country music or something.

What gets me even more is Mariah Carey. She has some how managed to have the most number one singles out of any single artist. She's second only to the Beatles. That's just nuts!

CNN reports MJ died due to food poisoning, turns out that eating 12 year old nuts can kill you.
