Whitney and Rihanna are hanging in there! Yaaaaay! I think Ultimate WHitney may make the year-end best-selling albums list for many years to come. It made it last year (sold more than new albums by major pop artists) and I have no doubt it'll be 7 x platinum by the end of 2017 and 6 x platinum by the end of 2016.

Who do you people think that who´s album will be the first to reach 1000 weeks on the albums chart? My guess is that it´ll be QUEEN´s Greatest Hits, eventually!

Would love it to be Rumours. I think it will be Abba Gold though.
