Thriller is the first one I thought of. Then I’d have tried Eagles’s Greatest Hits, AC/DC’s Back In Black and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. In the discussions over many years of the best selling albums of all time, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Beatles album enter the equation.

No, Thriller is by Michael Jackson, not the Beatles. It's an easy mistake to make, however.

In the United States, its debated which is the best selling album. But world wide, the Eagles Greatest Hits hasn't sold as well. Thriller is the world wide best selling album.

"Greatest Hits" aren't considered Album's proper. They are a combination of favourites from several Album's so its cheating really. In the UK, Queen's Greatest Hits could be considered as the best selling album but Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles is the best selling proper album.

Oh wait, looking back at that comment, I think 2018 was the year that the Eagles Greatest Hits became the best-selling album in the United States specifically, which is why I got confused. My bad :P

With current estimates being around 50M for Thriller v 41M for Eagles for the main markets, possibly as high as 70M worldwide for Thriller it is still easily the highest selling. The US sales for these are 34M (Thriller) and 38M (Eagles') as of Aug 2022 but it doesn't say it is limited to US sales.

has Eagles ahead of MJ, but I don't see anything about US or North American sales (like movies often are listed), or a second list to specify worldwide vs. US/NA.

Yes, there was a ban on the movie Avatar in China for some stupid reason. I think it got lifted after negotiations between Disney and China and the Chinese - having never seen the movie before - went to watch it en masse

Did this quiz in 2023. Kept guessing Apple as the most revenue earned.

Edit: googled it and surprised it really is walmart. I was just thinking of highest market cap as revenue.

For the most downloaded app, I was surprised with the answer. But I read it as 'owned' apps, while the question probably refers to NEW downloads in the year 2024. Since it was fairly new in 2024, it would have had a lot of downloads in that year, while a lot of people probably already had a phone with WhatsApp installed at the start of 2024 and so it wasn't downloaded.

Not to be pedantic but the Christian Bible is a collection on books. It just so happens that most people have it in a form that puts all of the books into a single volume. Not sure that the series of books question clue or answer should change but it is something that is debatable and that's one thing we love to do here.

This isn't really debatable at all. It's just a semantic coincidence that the term 'book' is used in both contexts. If you want to count each book of the bible as a distinct publication, please show me where I can buy 2 John if that's the only one I want.
