Can all of you please shut up about "club" sales? This list is a reflection of what people actually wanted, went out of their way, and spent full price to purchase. Albums sold through record clubs were usually bundled in bulk at bargain prices with another album that someone purchased at full price so that they could fullfill membership requirements, and those records were sold to the clubs at deep discounts usually late (six months after release) in the album's run so those club sales figures carry no real meaning or weight.

What you say doesn't make any sense since now you can buy an album on amazon for $0.99 or $1.99. Almost every album now get discounted many times, even during the release week.

*Digital albums in an era where piracy is rampant. If anything, deep discounts on Amazon these days are probably a better reflection of where numbers should be. Back in the 90's, record clubs created artificial demand.
