Rock Bands Dominating Physical Album Sales
July 19, 2021 1:41PM CDT
Didn’t someone JUST say rock is dead? Apparently when it comes to selling albums – real albums – rock and roll still can’t be beat.
The latest Pure Album Sales chart from Chart Data has rock bands holding down 9 of the top 10 spots – including names like Metallica, the Beatles, Queen, Foo Fighters, and AC/DC.
The chart measures actual physical album sales, rather than ‘equivalent units’ that factor in streaming numbers like Billboard’s sales charts.
