And here's the proof.
Irrefutable. There are TOO MANY PEOPLE ON EARTH.
Consider the following:
1. Abbey Road has sold 12 million copies in the US since its release. Also having sold 12 million copies:
- The Forrest Gump Soundtrack
- Kenny Roger's Greatest Hits
- Breathless, by Kenny G
2. How about in the 11 million category, along with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?
- The Dirty Dancing Soundtrack
- No Strings Attached, 'N Sync
- Devil Without a Cause, Kid Rock (!!!!!)
- The Titanic Soundtrack
3. 1, The Beatles collection of number 1 hits has sold the same number of copies (10 million) as The Lion King Soundtrack, Faith by George Michael, and Let's Talk About Love by Celine Dion.
4. Britney Spears' ...Baby One More Time and The Backstreet Boys eponymous album both outsold Abbey Road by 2 million copies.
5. The Beatles top selling album in the U.S., The White Album (19 million), was outsold by Shania Twain's Come On Over and Garth Brook's Double Live.
6. The Bodyguard Soundtrack by Whitney Houson has sold (wait for it) 17 million copies. That's 6 million more than Sgt. Pepper.
Proof that there are too many music-buyers out there. And that there's no accounting for taste.
