The Eagles’ album became a staple of the cassette tape era. People bought it for their cars. It never left the dashboard.
It has seven hit singles, from “Take It Easy” to “Hotel California.” It’s the ultimate road trip soundtrack. And it never, ever ends.
A fun fact: the album was released in 1976. It’s still selling. It’s like a dead horse that keeps winning races.
The Beatles Are Right There, Too
The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” is a cultural legend. But it’s not the top seller.
Their greatest hits (again, a compilation!) called “1” sold over 31 million copies. Compilation albums dominate the chart. It’s like winning a marathon by running the highlights.
Even “Abbey Road” only sits at about 16 million. The Eagles’ ghost still haunts the top spot.
