The Eagles' "Greatest Hits 1971-1975" album has surpassed Michael Jackson's "Thriller" to become the No. 1-selling album of all time, the RIAA confirmed to TheWrap.

The Eagles album, which was released in 1976, is now 38x platinum — that's five times more than "Thriller." Why such a wide gap? The last time RIAA tallied sales for "Greatest Hits 1971-1975" was in 2006, when it came up with 29x platinum. Sales and streams for "Thriller" were last updated last year.

I always thought it was one of the top 2-3 or so.  Nice that it's overtaken Thriller.

Since it first debuted and I bought the vinyl album, I've had a copy of it in whatever format was the norm. Like "Born to Run" and a few other classics, I know all the words to every song....not that you would want me to prove it   O0

It's Eagles GH '71-'75, Thriller, and Hotel California, 1, 2, 3.  And

I'm kind of with Tom Waits on this one. Eagles records are great for keeping dust off the turntable.   :D

They may have sold a bunch of albums and made a lot of money, but they didn't do so well in the Grogs music poll.

So I ask you: What's more important?  Fame and fortune, or being highly regarded by a dozen wargamers on this site?

I beg to differ.  :) One thing my grandfather left me was a full head of hair. His brothers didn't have it but he did, and it passed down to me.
