The first of two soundtracks in this post, the Titanic soundtrack topped charts and sold over 30 million copies across the globe thanks to the raw power of My Heart Will Go On (which, interestingly, almost didn’t make it onto the soundtrack). It also holds the record for the most shipments of an album in a year, 11 million. It’s gone on to sell 12.25 million copies, which makes it the fifth best selling album of the SoundScan era. It was a good move, introducing a wider audience to his music and helping Brooks become the first country artist to top the charts since Kenny Rogers in the early 80s.ĭespite coming out in the final year of the decade, Millenium still managed to shift 9.4 million copies before the 20th century was over thanks to the sheer popularity of I Want It That Way. With Ropin’ The Wind, Garth Brooks introduced a stronger 70s rock influence to his trademark country sound. They actually released Backstreet Boys (same title, different album) and Backstreet’s Back internationally before releasing anything in the States.īackstreet Boys (the US version) was a mash-up of the best tracks from those albums, shifting 9.2 million copies in total and giving teenage girls a brand new obsession. Here are the best selling albums of the 90s in America, according to SoundScan data…īackstreet Boys introduced America to one of the decade’s biggest boybands, although it wasn’t actually their first record. Surprisingly, you won’t find any of those albums in this post. The 90s was a great time for music, with classic albums across all genres: Nevermind, The Chronic, Odelay – we could go on.
