So I did some research to see what were the best-selling jazz albums of all time and came up with this list. The sales are based on certifications by RIAA since jazz is a genre from the United States:
1. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue | 4 million
2. Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters | 1 million
3. Weather Report - Heavy Weather | 1 million
4. Hearbie Hancock - Future Shock | 1 million
5. The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out | 1 million
6. Various Artists - Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music | 1 million
7. Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World | 1 million
8. Miles Davis - Bitches Brew | 1 million
9. Louis Armstrong - Hello, Dolly! | 500,000
10. Stan Getz & João Gilberto - Getz / Gilberto | 500,000
Most historical jazz albums have at least a Gold certification by RIAA like Cheek to Cheek does! This means that technically speaking, Cheek to Cheek is one of the most successful jazz albums in US music history.
Gaga and Tony, their power.
