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.

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.

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

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 didn't know about soundscan!

I then went on their site and found out what I wrote up there!

Not what I was referring to, but strangely enough, that word also applies to this situation.

They must be old, CC has now surpassed the 1000,000 mark and Obituary's World Demise is the best selling DM record ever, if I'm not mistaken.
