In regards to US sales, "Rumours" has been certified at 19M, where "Hotel California" currently sits at 16M. Not exactly a huge difference. I also have the sneaking suspicion (a hunch for now, I don't have facts nearby to back it up) that "California" has outsold "Rumours" 1980-present, and that its definitely outsold "Rumours" compact disc/digitally.

In terms of single disc recordings of original music...

Michael Jackson/Thriller - 29M
Led Zeppelin IV - 23M
AC/DC/Back In Black - 22M
Shania Twain/Come On Over - 20M
Fleetwood Mac/Rumours - 19M
