Doc Brown Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 That moment you forget that god awful George Michael and Garth Brooks were actually popular at one point. Eminem had a more impressive run than I thought. No Pearl Jam or Green Day was surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I saw that the other day and don't get what it is? Is it a single album's sales for a quarter. The artist's full catalog's sales each quarter...................The one that makes no sense to me is Billy Joel. I don't think the Piano Man album in 73 would have remained so popular through to his next album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a statement from someone on a forum about Fleetwood Mac. My English Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits album has the following statement in the liner notes:In the four years of Fleetwood Mac's existence they have sold in excess of 12 million records, they have played all over the world and have four gold discs so far. Last year they won the Top Selling Singles Artist Award which was the first time anyone apart from the Beatles had won this award in six years.

If it wasn’t for Heart and Trooper, GIANT FM 91.7 would be off air.? * Steve Miller Band to me was just a local garage band that got lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a reference to their other records. BTW, that was from a poster at Steve Hoffman forums. Or what I refer to as " the internet black hole for time." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
