If you know how many were sold, then why do you post this thread?

i don't know about all-time record sales, but soundscan has kept track of them since its own creation.

if i'm not mistaken, Cannibal Corpse sell the most, and Deicide's debut is the best-selling album.

That's funny, I was just thinking the same thing.

My guess is that Mikki merely wishes to perpetuate his string of stupid and meaningless threads. There's a term for people like that, it starts with T and ends with :roll: .

I remember a couple years ago there was an article posted here about that. I can't find it in the editorials, so I think it was a news piece, but it might be here somewhere, but I don't feel like going back through years of news ten articles at a time.
