Not rock, which was the initial post. Was Appetite really Guns' debut? I can't remember if the record they had out prior to that was an EP, or what. If we wanted to bust nuts for the sake of silliness, if it's borderline, that might've disqualified them.All the sales figures are up on riaa.com for the top-selling albums of all-time. All-time excluding sales since the inception of Soundscan (1990?) that were not sold at major chains using the service. In other words, no independent record stores need qualify, for more than 15 years, which means that a lot of indie label stuff won't register at all, not that the numbers could compete with Soundscan top sellers, anyway. But, I'm sure there were a heck of a lot of recs sold during the grunge period some 13-14 years ago that don't figure in the RIAA tallies, as well as some recs (Offspring, anyone?) from the punk revival a dozen years ago that might've fared a little better, as well. At this point it's a lot less of an issue, considering how many mom'n'pops have bit the dust.
I'm not sure if Wiki's numbers come from RIAA.com, or Grammy.com, or whatever the hell it is, but if not, they may lack credibility, especially considering that Wiki allows for user editing.
