(Finished August 23rd, 2018) The Top 30 Best Selling CDs of All-Time, Part 3 #19-#16

Hello,

The following blog is inspired by the Top 100 Best Selling CDs of All-Time as reported by: https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2018/08/20/100-best-selling-albums-2018/

The number in parenthesis is number of units sold.

19) Alanis Morissette "Jagged Little Pill" (16 million):

"You Oughta Know":



"Hand In My Pocket":



"Ironic":



"You Learn":



"Head Over Feet":



I'm not a big Beatles fans, but these are some of the Beatles best songs.

18) The Beatles "The Beatles 1967-1970" (17 million):
"A Day In The Life":



"I Am The Walrus":



"Fool On The Hill":



"Back In The U.S.S.R.":



"Hey Jude":


Due to Garth's greed, there are none of his videos on You Tube. It's too bad as "No Fences" likely is the greatest country CD ever, every song on it is amazing. He's the only artist I know of that won't allow their music on YouTube, although he needs more money like I need a bigger gut. Obviously it's his right, I just find it extremely greedy. Shameful.

From an early 2017 interview with Garth Brooks in Billboard magazine:

How are you going to keep fans engaged after the tour is over? They can’t go on YouTube and watch your videos, because you have an issue with how YouTube compensates song creators.
Because they can’t go on YouTube and watch the video today does not mean they cannot go on YouTube and watch the video tomorrow. [Utilizing] the new technologies without sacrificing the old-school beliefs, those days are getting closer. 
What does that mean? 
Individual deals with different technology companies, but built solely on one thing -- what works best for the music and the artist.
So are you going to make a deal with YouTube? 
I can tell you I’d like to... It if happens, if’s going to happen [based on] what’s best for the song and the people who created the song. You can bet on that… as long as it benefits the people who created it, as well as it benefits the people who enjoy listening to it. 
17) Garth Brooks "No Fences" (17 million):
"The Thunder Rolls":
"Victim of The Game":
"Unanswered Prayers":
"Wolves":
"New Way To Fly":

16) Elton John "Greatest Hits":
"Your Song":



"Saturday Night's (Alright For Fighting)":



"Crocodile Rock":



With special guest Billy Joel "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road":



"Honky Cat":
