Journey Greatest Hits is #10 on Billboard catalog charts with 14 million and counting. I wonder what the highest selling GH package is? I thought it was the Eagles.

Here is the link.

Eagles Greatest Hits 71-75 is the biggest selling of all time. At least it was last time I checked.-ERIC

I want to say I agree with you Abs, but some yayhoo on BT said ACDC and Pink Floyd were the only ones higher.

In fact I know you are correct.

PM me Abs. My inbox was too full it wouldn't accept your last one.

PF and AC/DC are only albums and not GH cd's ; Dark Side of the Moon and Back in Black. They are the highest.

Hey, blue font. Arrival and Generations have both made the Billboard Top 200. How'd Perry's CDs that HE put in your "last 8 years" time frame chart :?:

Yea it is a shame that an artist can reissue something with extra or remixed songs and still have it count toward the orginal cd

Angie, you and that damn Purple ink!

I agree with you, sort of. IIRC, GH was at 10 mill forever. Maybe they just updated it? But even then, 4 million in 2 years, despite how good the last 2 years have been, seems high. However, it's right there in the link, 14 million.

The Bodyguard Soundtrack? Blech.

Where's the highest Journey record in the rankings? Is it GH or ESC4P3?

It's the GH and it's quite a ways down there. Number ten has 17 million in sales and the GH is 10 million. I didn't see Escape on there. Here is the whole thing:

With these GH albums from bands like Journey, Boston, Eagles... still charting so high on the catalog charts, makes you wonder why the record companies don't wake up and realize that there are still millions of fans out there who'd rather here the new Journey song as opposed to Jessica Simpson's new song!

Seems like if they would figure out that there is still demand for the old stuff, that there could be demand for new stuff from these bands as well! I'm so tired of the hip hop ruled radio!! :evil:

Just found this today.

The top-selling album of all time just keeps on moving. The Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 has sold another million copies, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), bringing its total to 29 million since its release in 1976. The chart-topping album's 10 tracks hail from the Eagles' first four records, preceding 1976's Hotel California
