We've previously covered the "Top Metal Albums of All Time," but today, we're diving into the best-selling vinyl records that have left their mark on music history. Grab a seat and let's get nostalgic, shall we?
What is the Highest Selling Vinyl Record of All Time?
When it comes to the highest selling vinyl record of all time, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson often takes the crown. This classic album, released in 1982, has sold millions of copies worldwide and continues to be a favourite among vinyl collectors. With tracks like "Billie Jean" and "Beat It," it's no wonder this album is a must-have.
Who Has Sold the Most Records Ever?
This question usually brings up the legendary The Beatles. These lads from Liverpool have sold over 600 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling music artists in history. Albums like "Abbey Road" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" are staples in any serious vinyl collection.
What is the Most Sought After Vinyl?
For collectors, the most sought after vinyl often includes albums like The Beatles' "White Album" (especially the limited editions with unique serial numbers) and Elvis Presley's "My Happiness". But in the realm of classic rock and beyond, Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" is a perpetual favourite. This iconic album, with its mesmerising cover and groundbreaking sound, remains one of the best-selling and most sought-after vinyl records.
Other Must-Have Best Sellers
Now, let's not forget about some other heavy hitters in the vinyl world:
- Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" (1977): This album is a masterpiece of rock and roll drama, featuring hits like "Go Your Own Way" and "Dreams." Its enduring appeal keeps it flying off the shelves.
- Led Zeppelin's "IV" (1971): With the epic "Stairway to Heaven," this album is essential for any rock fan. It's one of those records that never gets old.
- The Rolling Stones' "Sticky Fingers" (1971): This classic album, featuring the iconic zipper cover, is a must-have. With tracks like "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses," it's a rock 'n' roll treasure.
The Revival of Vinyl
Vinyl sales have been on the rise, and albums like “PARANOID” BY BLACK SABBATH and greatest hits collections from artists like Queen and David Bowie continue to captivate collectors. The tactile experience, the sound quality, and the sheer nostalgia make vinyl records irreplaceable.
