 List of best-selling albums worldwide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The world's best-selling album cannot be listed officially, since there is no international body to count global record sales.
Albums are listed in alphabetical order, rather than albums sold.
Entries marked with an asterisk (*) are double albums, but they are counted once for each sale.

 Jesusfreakhideout.com: Audio Adrenaline, "Worldwide" Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Worldwide is well-produced but at times feels to have been polished a little more than needed when the guys aren't rocking out tracks like "Church Punks" or "Worldwide Two." Mark Stuart's aged and gritty vocals fit beautifully with the edge of Lift but are utilized a lot less often on Worldwide.
Worldwide virtually ends there with "Worldwide Two," the hardest rocker on the project and a definite highlight as the band reinforces their mission with a different take from the album's opener.
Finally, the album appropriately closes with the AC (Adult Contemporary) radio remix of their hit "Ocean Floor" which replaces the song's key guitar riffs with a prominent piano melody.

 BigO Worldwide
As with all Liberation Orchestra albums since the first one in 1969, bassist Charlie Haden reminds us that "The whole underlying theme is to communicate honest, human values, and in doing that to try to improve the quality of life." So it's music that takes centre stage.
On their new album, Giving Up the Ghost, they have structured the tracks to be heard like a vinyl record with five songs each for two sides.
Album closer "The Curse" rings off with the kind of love that survives no matter what, the singer knowing he may not get there with you but wishing you Godspeed just the same.

 HipHop-WorldWide Reviews
The banger of the album is of course "The 6th Sense" that was produced by DJ Premier.
The album is 15 tracks deep and features most of the singles that have been released independently and some new cuts and remixes as well.
The best part of the album, is the late Big L is featured on most of the tracks and finally gets the spotlight that he should of got on his first album.

This signalled the end of the Sex Gang group, though a cassette of their final US concert was released under the title Ecstasy And Vendetta Over New York on the back of favourable notices they'd attracted in the States.
A new album was recorded in Los Angeles with a variety of musicians and released on Cleopatra in 1993 under the title Medea.
The band embarked on their bravest mission yet and that is to establish themselves amongst the current Goth scene, but much to their surprise they have been warmly received and honoured as one of the true pioneers of Goth.

 Worldwide™ font family : MyFonts
Worldwide™ is a ShinnType font family with 12 styles priced from $39.00.
Worldwide is a typeface in the Century idiom, designed with present day newspaper usage in mind.
The characters follow the Century genre closely, although there is more variety in the width of the caps: a narrowing of the E and a widening of the M, for instance, which gives a more even colour and less distortion.

Worldwide One: A hard-rockin' entry that has fun and leaves you wondering how the rest of the CD will keep up the tempo.
This is one album that is best listened to as a whole; every song builds on the last and complements it so well.
Of the 2 "Worldwide" tracks, I prefer "Two," but the song that made my jaw hit the ground was "Miracle." This is a simply beautiful song regarding the miracle of losing your prominence in this life and realizing that it's actually better that way.

 A world of fun: worldwide stamp collecting
In fact, I recently rediscovered the fun of worldwide collecting by beginning a new global collection housed in an ancient Scott worldwide album that I acquired (free) at a local stamp club meeting.
A smaller worldwide collection can be made by acquiring just one stamp from each country that has ever issued adhesive stamps for the prepayment of postage.
Let's not forget about the old-fashioned worldwide collector who accepts every new stamp that comes along, no matter where it is from or when it was issued.

Badu, then you could see the progression from her first album to this one and be able to apreciate the new alternative stlye.
As another fan said, she is not a slave to pop culture and top 40 hits(which is a shame because as many people as possible should be introduced to her new style).

 Corr's Main Frame
Heralded as 'the hardest working band in the music industry', with worldwide album sales reaching a staggering 24 million, The Corrs are a global phenomenon, encapsulating both physical beauty and combining it with effortless creativity and talent.
With platinum albums in more than twenty countries, to borrow the title of one of their earliest hits, this surely is the right time to release a 'best of' album.
Their most mature album yet, In Blue repeated the success of its predecessors and proved to be another multi-platinum record, selling six million copies worldwide.

 U2 Feedback - Total worldwide sales to date?
most of U2's album sales are from outiside of the US, where as with most bands 1/2 of their sales are from the US and the other 1/2 from the rest of the world.
The estimated totals for All albums sold per artist was achieved by examining the performance of every charted album plus many non-charting albums by all these artists.
Worldwide sales of 27 million is likely an underestimate of the total sales worldwide for Joshua Tree.

The Island Record compilation-set was originally released in May 1984 to commemorate the third anniversary of Marley's death, and re-promoted and issued in a CD format in September 1990.
After its initial release, Legend zoomed to the UK #1 album spot and lodged in that position for 12 weeks during its 129-week chart tenure.
In the US, the album peaked at #54, but stayed within the bounds of the Top 200 Albums survey for over two years, earning triple-platinum status.

 Amazon.co.uk: Gilles Peterson Worldwide Vol.2: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Thankfully, Worldwide Program 2 narrows this into a focused 60-minute mix album that reflects Gilles' personal taste--slo-mo jazz, heavily blunted stoner hip-hop, classic funk--and for the most part, steers well clear of the easy-listening muzak excursions that occasionally blight his shows.
If you are a great fan of the legendary Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Radio Shows, this album will not disappoint, and for those who have brought his other worldwide album this has to be just as good as Worldwide Vol.1 if not better.
The album contains no feeling of excitement or creation.Most of the songs contain little inspiration, the album altogether feels rushed, like Gilles was short of cash and knocked up a quick mix for a few extra quid.

 Jamsline Biography - Audio Adrenaline   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Stuart says the idea behind Worldwide came from the response the band received to its powerful hit single "Hands and Feet," which first appeared on the group's Underdog record.
With "Worldwide One" setting the stage by daring listeners to "come along for a ride," and "Church Punks'" 90 seconds of rock and roll rebellion, this album starts off at a blistering pace.
Stylistically, Worldwide comes full circle with the heavy-hitting album closers, "Start a Fire" and "Worldwide Two," completing a package that is nothing more than a pure rock and roll album to its core, hearkening back to the days of the band's gold-selling album, BloOm.

 BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Music | Green Day album tops UK chart
Warners said the album had sold 200,000 copies in the UK - and was poised to breach the 2m sales mark worldwide.
He said the success was partly down to the strength of the group's hit single - the album's title track - which takes a swipe at US President George W Bush.
The album - the band's first since 2000 - has also reached the top 10 in Ireland and Italy on the back of largely positive reviews from critics.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : Erykah Badu
It finally arrived, and after some confusion concerning the track-listing (two different versions were released, initially) has settled down to become the fine album and follow up that it is. It's both harder hitting and more playful than 'Baduizm' at the same time, if that makes sense.
If there is a noticeable fault with this record in comparison to her superlative debut, it's that it lacks as many obvious standout cuts.
She's changed the way she sings a little, seemingly less concerned with the power of her voice, less concerned with any kind of "hey, i'm a great voice" - to be replaced by more pure soul.

In October 1974, RCA released the album the first time with an orange label and re-released it in 1976 and again in 1977.
Usually, the Flaming Star album was just a low budget production, but this special edition was exclusively produced in November 1968 for the Singer company and only sold by their distribution centers.

Most of the people who gave this album bad marks are people who wanted a full album and got an EP.
Badu will be releasing a full album in about 6 to 9 months or so, so people who crave the lyrically deeper songs on "Mama's Gun" and "Baduism" like myself will be satisfied soon enough.
Fans, that's probably only because I compared it to her past albums, and my heart seems to be with Baduizm.

One prime example is that many Beatles fans think that the "White Album" is the best-selling album of The Beatles in the USA because the media says that it sold 19 million in America.
So, in reality "The White Album" sold 9.5 million copies (what is translated in 19xPlatinum by RIAA rules) and not 19 million copies.
The same example in the press is the Pink Floyd's album "The Wall", cited as a 23 million seller instead of a 11.5 million seller DOUBLE album..The prime example on the singles side is the "We Are The World" single.
