A Gramophone; source: sxc.huOur beloved RIAA is usually up to no good, but they have an interesting list of the 100 best selling albums of all times:

Place #1 goes to the Eagles’ Greatest Hits (which surprises me a little bit), followed by Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Pink Floyd’s The Wall.

Da grüßt Lenin von einem Luxus-Apartmentgebäude namens “Red Square Apartments” im East Village, NYC.

Grotesk.
