To make a list is almost impossible. Checking different tops around the webb & you find out that none of them is the same. Only records companies know and they will never tell you. The only thing that I found is that almost everybody is listing "Thriller" as the best selling album of all time far away from others.
Currently they are-
1. Michael Jackson's Thriller, with 110 Million copies sold
2. AC/DC's Back in Black, with 49 Million copies sold
3. Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of The Moon, with 45 Million copies sold
