Since a new question wasn't asked, I guess I will ask one.
Which song had the following lines that starts with:
"Please allow me to introduce myself,
I'm a man of wealth and taste.
I've been around for a long, long year,
Stolen many man's soul and faith."?

Eagles - Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) - was 29 times platinum in the United States - but the question was worldwide.
In the United States, Platinum refers to an album that has sold 1,000,000 copies. So 29,000,000 is certainly a HUGE success.
But for the real answer, or as close as we can get:
According to Wiki - The world's best-selling album cannot be listed officially, since there is no international body to count global record sales. Historical data before the 1980s and from developing countries are also incomplete. Information is also lacking for non-English language albums.
But the alleged winner is Michael Jackson - Thriller 1982. This album has allegedly sold over 51 million copies globally. Some sources put it closer to 60. Thriller is also listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the World's best selling album.
In the US it sold 27 million copies - leaving the winner to the Eagles' Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) for best selling album in the US.
Ok. Let's move on, back to Noel:

I don't know if you are right or not Art Paul- but those would be my guesses for first rap! Shortest Beatle song- hmm "The End" or "Her Majesty"? (humming them in my mind to get an idea of song length)
Who had an instrumental (that should be a clue) named "Constipated Duck" ? |
