That fact that if you removed the 30M+ from the US, Thriller would still outsell all but three or four albums is insane.

It's almost definitely either Dark Side of the Moon or The Grease Soundtrack.

Back In Black has sold about the same as The Eagles Greatest Hits 71-75, Come On Over and The Bodyguard Soundtrack which are likely below the two I mentioned, especially in catalog sales. I think Led Zep IV is in the same general sales bracket too.

Dangerously In Love = ~5M in the US, 5M outside
B'Day = 3.3M US, 3.2M outside the US
IASF = 3M in the US, 5M outside of the US
4 = 1.4M in the US, 1.6M outside of the US
BEYONCÉ = 2.3M in the US, 1.7M outside of the US
about 15M in the US and 16.5M outside of the US counting LPs only. Not too shabby for a local girl
