Cac Band The Eagles Have surpassed MJ for best selling album of all time in US.....

nah its forseeable. you gotta think of whos buying these cds.
the demographic that is straight up buying physical cds is most likely to be older white people. they mainly listen to music in the car . so this is the perfect thing for that white baby boomer to play in their car stereo. and theres so many of them..
thats the thing breh baby boomers were the ultimate consumers. they buy the same exact shyt like this many many times over the course of their life

Could also be that’s when baby boomers finally converted to iTunes and bought the album again on MP3.

Why was this announced yesterday and I look on the chart and the eagles are at 38 million and MJ at 33 million? That's a big ass difference why would it be announced yesterday as if it just happened?

You have to request and pay for the RIAA to do their audit and then certify your album. They are not checking every single album all the time. They do it on request.

I don't waste time going back and forth defending people I'm not fans of.

I don’t waste time assuming people are defending things in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. :peeumad:
At the end of the day. You’ve heard of the Beatles. You know they are English. And you know who Yoko Ono is. All that shyt is general knowledge whether you are a fan of that type of music or not.

 

[Dead End]

The Eagles are fukking terrible.

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

its cause your from california. this shyt is for white people in flyover states when they want to listen to what they think "california music" sounds like

Guess I never thought of it like that

Nah it’s funny business. That’s alot of albums to sell in the last ten years.
Those are Adele, Taylor, Katy and Gaga numbers at their peak. Plus they have another album that jumped 10 million units as well.
Whose been buying those albums? That album doesn’t have great streaming numbers nor are the albums and songs ever in any charts.
The album jumped mysteriously in the 90s to overtake Thriller as well. Those are fake numbers.

No fukking way did The Eagles sell 9 million copies of that shyt since 2006. Something is up

Exactly!
Not only 9 million if this album but 20 million of another album. That’s Adele numbers

No it’s not foreseeable. Who has sold 20 million albums in the past 12 years?
Most main artist outside of Adele aren’t pulling those numbers. What charts have they been on? Their streaming numbers are low as well. I call bullshyt!
Let’s put this into perspective: They would’ve had to sell 1.5 million equivalent album units every year for the past 12 to reach those numbers.

Something isn't adding up with them numbers.

but still MJ>Eagles.

Thriller>Anything they've done.

i dont know about the charts but older white people dont stream music like that so that wouldnt really factor in

Interesting. For the yt folks on here, were they huge in your culture? Seems odd for a band with one hit of notoriety to get such acclaim.

My introductions to them were from Frank Ocean and Brownstone. If I'm not mistaken, one of the band members called Frank talentless and they had to remove "American Wedding" from the Internet.

The eagles got songs you hear all the time in movies and random shyt too
