New RIAA Best Selling Album Certifications!!

[Jondalar]

The Eagles Greatest Hits was ahead of Michael Jackson's Thriller a long time ago. However, Michael died and that boosted his sales and then he jumped ahead. It's just restablishing the pecking order.

Hotel California is country rock and it's no big suprise. Streaming is what put it ahead of Rumours, not actual sales. That is the only way this could of changed so fast. Also, Fleetwood Mac is just a mess. Their legacy because of all of the fighting is ending up a mess.

P.S. Because The Eagles album is a Greatest Hits, I really don't consider it the #1 album. It's 10 years worth of their best material. It shouldn't be put up against regular albums.
