anyone else notice that Best of Bob Seger has more sales than DSOTM overall. WTF??
Thanks for pointing out. It has to be noted though, that SoundScan only started tracking sales in June 1991. The Seger set has slightly outsold DSOTM since then, but if you take into account all sales since Dark Side`s release in 1973, it still has sold a lot more than the Seger set.
BTW, the figure for "Back In Black" looks wrong. It surely has sold a lot more than that since 1991.
