You are absolutely, 100% WRONG! Outside of rock as a whole, the 70’s SUCKED for music! The disco era, Captain & Tennille! The rise of lane soft “rock”! As a whole, the 80’s is the best decade for music from country to metal!

Rush were big but not THAT big. A quick google search puts Rush's total album sales around 40m wordlwide - including on their own website - that's nowhere near the top considering the likes of Floyd, Zeppelin, ACDC, Queen, Eagles and others have certified sales well over 100m. And there'll be a lot of other bands between 50-100 as well. Was it referring to Canada sales only, maybe?

@@VRPRocks Well Rush is indeed huge. But anyway that was in an article I'd read that was about why Rush hadn't yet, at that time, been inducted into the RnR HOF. And that was one of the reasons they should've been in. I should not have said "little known fact" but I did read that. You brought up a good point that maybe it was Canada sales. I remember buying my first CD player in 1987 at the Best Buy Co in St. Cloud, MN. At that store the #1 selling CD was Pink Floyd DSOTM (not world wide, just at THAT store) 14 years after it was released! The CD rejuvenated the sales of that album and many others from the 70s and early 80s. Just think how much more money in sales the CD brought to all of those bands from the 70s. *Earlier post edited

@marcvanlaere-zr5im @redundant_underscore This is the list as per chartmasters.org figures, unfortunately there is no definitive list of absolute sales figures, mostly estimates, so it's always difficult to use anything as fact. But, as per their figures, Black Sabbaths biggest selling album is Paranoid at 9.9m, which isn't enough to get into this top 25. Likewise the best 70s albums from those others you mentioned... Deep Purple: Machine Head 9.04m, Heart: Little Queen 3.2m, Alice Cooper: Welcome to... 1.7m, BoC: Agents of Fortune 1.3m, Scorpions: Lovedrive 853k. None of those get anywhere near the top 25 that they list. Again, I'm not saying this is definitive, just the figures and rankings they list 👍🤘

“Crime of the Century” has only ever been certified by the RIAA as a gold album in the US(500,000 albums sold). Since it was Supertramp’s breakout album, you would think it sold more. The band did not set out to record a more commercial viable album when making “Breakfast in a America”; it just had themes that resonated with a wider audience. It is a certified quadruple platinum album in the US(4 million copies sold). It sold 3 million copies in France which as of today makes it the 4th best selling album of all time in that country. By early in the 1990’s, “Breakfast….” Sold 18 million copies worldwide; by 2010 it sold 20 million copies worldwide. It is very unusual for a album to sell like is. “BIA” just has universal themes that resonate with each new generation. I just wanted to give the reader the sales numbers. I am a big Supertramp fan but I am not going to argue the merits of “COTC and BIA” here. It is a waste of time.

Dark Side of the Moon spent 741 consecutive weeks on the billboard 200 charts. However, that album is now well over a thousand weeks on the billboard 200 charts and continues to jump on and off the charts. It's sold 45 million copies worldwide as of the early 2000s but for some reason they haven't continued to count because it still sells 8 to 10000 copies a week and I'm sure that 45 million has grown to over 50 million by 2024!!

Of course, sales aren't quality ... but that's a different discussion. One problem with that site is their classifications. Madonna, U2 and The Police are classified as "alternative". Supertramp are classified as "rock" (while other similar bands are not). And their database is incomplete - The Sex Pistols, Roxy Music, The Stranglers, Brian Eno, Talking Heads??? I simply couldn't find them. Or am I missing the point of that site?

According to the figures, that record "only" sold 4m copies, so nowhere near the top 25 listed on the chartmasters website 👍🤘

Except for the Beatles their aren't that many 60s oriented bands with record setting albums. Sales for Pink Floyd albums before DSOTM are very average.

Sadly not, according to chartmasters their biggest selling album was Machine Head which had figures of 9.4m, just below the top 25 on their rankings 👍🤘

What's sad - this list completely ignores the band that had more Billboard hit albums AND singles in the 1970s. Chicago. To be fair, their albums weren't HUGE selllers, like the ALSO IGNORED Eagles Greatest Hits 1971-1975 - without the huge sales of THAT album (it is #1 on the RIAA Diamond chart, AHEAD of Thriller in US sales), the Eagles were going to fold before they even started work on Hotel California.

@@VRPRocks The Chicago albums I mention, with ONE exception (IX), were studio albums. The Eagles Greatest Hits wasn't, I grant - despite it's HUGH sales success (bigger than Thriller in the US, not as big internationally).

@@bricefleckenstein9666 Sorry, I was responding to the "ALSO IGNORED" part of your first post. Interestingly I've just checked the Chicago sales data they provide and the biggest selling album they had was IX (6.9m) followed by Chicago 17 (6.1m) from 1984. Their biggest selling 70s album was Chicago X at 2.2m sales, which wasn't even in the top 30 for all album sales in 1976 alone. Again, this is just me repeating their figures, whether reliable or not, and as we know sales figures dont always equate to the quality of the music do they, as shown by today's releases!

@@VRPRocks I didn't say that Chicago had the #1 albums. What I said is they had the most albums plus singles that made the Billboard Charts during the 1970s. (AKA "Billboard Hits). DON'T TRY TO "INTERPRET ME", I said EXACTLY what I meant. I SAID "their albums weren't HUGE sellers".

Bogus list. Although yes they are great albums. Frampton comes alive kiss alive kiss destroyer. I also just looked up the best selling albums of all time from 1970s. Those Led Zeppelin albums are way down the list except for number four

I've checked that site, and within the category "rock" and "hard rock/metal", the list accurately reflects the top 25 selling albums 1970 - 1979 (as per that site). Excluding live albums - and Frampton Comes Alive wouldn't make it, even if they were included. Why don't you read the comments before getting all attitudinal?
