She'd only just begun.
I always thought it was strange that she and her brother sang love songs to each other. It's not like they were from Arkansas.

Did Boston sell a single album outside the US?
Globally ABBA must have been in the top 3.

Thanks, I did the same thing and they didn't show up on any of the lists. Dumb thread.
Here's the problem with the music industry - no one actually knows anything! If you try to research this you get a million different answers, and it all depends on what you think the meaning of "is" is. You get "claimed" sales and "certified" sales. Although in the music industry certified doesn't mean certified the way the rest of us think. Certified is just another not-as-vague version of "claimed" sales. No wonder the artists all think they were being ripped off by the industry -- they probably were!
Start at the first link and then work your way down. You won't get any closer to the answer.

If Momma Cass only had given her that sandwich...
yes I know she died from a heart condition but should we blame Poppa Denny for breaking her heart?
