venusfly 17,885 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Since its release in 1982, Michael Jackson's Thriller has held the record for the best selling album of all time. As of 2016, the album has sold an estimated 65,000,000-70,000,000 copies worldwide. Do you think its possible for any popstars of today to be able to beat this record? Or is it Michael's to keep?

Haroon 49,685 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Given the change in sales, I'd say it's impossible to top The closest anyone's getting is Adele I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsterish 5,520 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Maybe not Gaga, but a random pop-star in 50-100 years from now? Who knows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Gangsta 6,693 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 No cause sales keep dropping, and streaming is the future. 10m now is probably equal to 30m in the past If you count SPS than it's possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 109,281 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 No. That record is hard to beat, especially nowadays when most people got into streaming than buying music, either CDs or digital.
