This Day In History: Pink Floyd's album "The Wall" was released on this day in 1979. Michael Jackson's Thriller was released on this day in 1982. Both would be included on the list of top 10 best-selling albums of all time. According to Wikipedia Thriller is the best-selling album, but according to Business Insider it is The Eagles Greatest Hits. In fact, Business Insider includes two Eagles albums in the top 10: the Greatest Hits and Hotel California. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon also sold well, spending over 900 weeks in total in the Billboard 200. Three Canadians are featured prominently in the best-selling charts: Shania Twain, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette. I can really only find two artists from the past 20 years on the top 50: Adele and Linkin Park.
