WOW there's alot of Eminem

surprised Mariah only has one and it's only 760

1.054.511 LIMP BIZKIT - Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water ???????

Were they really ever that relevant? O wow.

2.415.859 N SYNC - No Strings Attached

wow

NSYNC? Eww. This top 50 pretty much sucks. Mariah is like the only good artist on there.

Sadly. Korn should have done those numbers with Issues, imo.

i hate the fact that nirvana didn´t make that list, and love that their albums have sold: 1.9 million, >10 million, 6 million, 5.5 million....and has 4 #1 debuts, whereas two of them were posthumous (holds the record!)

pearl jam were great tho...

about n´sync: alot odf teens/tweens bougt 3-5 copies of their albums right away, so...

I never really had an NSYNC album. I was just a fan of their singles. BSB had it all.

BSB was THE boyband WW, i rember EVERY girl in my class have a crush on them (sweden...denniz pop, max martin lol..)...but n´sync was prety unknown here, but MEGA in the states....
in all honesty, i hated them all with passion

Heh heh, Back when boy bands used to rule the world. I remember those days.
Perhaps if Britney Spears plays her cards right, she will top her current spot on the charts, especially with those persistent fans that will buy multiple copies. Other than her I don't see anyone there that has the present day potential to outdo themselves. Boy bands are dead and Eminem lost credibility.

wow great list, a lot of albums are repeated, meaning they were more consistent w/ their sales than compared to now

kanye was the last one, altho it´s pretty strange coz i´ve never seen him as some HUGE megastar (like usher 2004)

LOL I own majority of those albums. Including the two BSB albums.

Yeah. I still think boy bands sounded like ****. I never understood their popularity, and Eminem hasn't made a decent album since 2000 [The Eminem Show had several good songs but not enough.]

LMAO. I wonder how Chinese Democracy will do in its first week during the year of 2017.

My sister is like 21 now, she used to own all their albums, every single magazine with them on the cover, etc. She thinks they're **** now (I told her so since the beginning) yet she denies how much she used to love them.
Me too.

I think most of the boy bands followers were just there to follow a trend, and it had nothing to do with their music. Just like the Harry Potter fans nowadays.

you too I thought I was the only one who thought Kanye had an Usher type year

874.000 SHANIA TWAIN - Up

BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water wasn't that bad, now.

And Milennium > Black and Blue. Truthfully, Black and Blue was **** save a couple of songs.
