The difference in the best albums of all time on this site versus the best selling albums of all time is interesting. It says something about our music culture.

Saturday Night Fever and Rumours were released around the same time (1977). These were marketed as a record company, thanks in large volumes. Many single release, also contributed to the album's sales figures. In addition, especially Rumours, was long-lasting dumping album. The album had to always be available. How about Grease soundtrack? _________________ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNGpsnTCUXM
