This book looks behind the shocking headlines and delves into the
minds of monsters.
Thriller, Sgt. Pepper, Dark Side Of The Moon, Rumours, Born In The
USA, Up!... these are just some of the epoch-defining albums of the
past six decades: albums that have appealed to fans across genres,
albums with songs that have imprinted themselves on our collective
memory. Based on recording industry sales figures, Best-Selling
Albums is the definitive guide to more than 100 chart-topping
records of the past six decades. From Miles Davies and Nat 'King'
Cole in the 1950s to Adele today, Best-Selling Albums features the
most successful artists in the history of recorded popular music.
Alongside old favourites and recognized classics - including
several albums by The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Eminem - there are
enough surprises here to amaze even the most dedicated music buff.
Would you have guessed that Norah Jones's bluesy album Come Away
With Me would be the top-seller of the 2000s? Or that the biggest
soundtrack of the past 20 years is the collection of bluegrass
songs from the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? Every album is
illustrated with a sleeve artwork, front and back, providing a
fascinating overview of the evolution of record cover design across
the decades. Each entry is packed full of information, including
background on the recording of the album and its place in cultural
history, as well as a full track listing and detailed musician and
production credits. In addition, there are listings of the
biggest-selling movie soundtracks, the top 100 albums by sales, and
much more.
