 ERROR - You've moved 'Gold', by ABBA, into the wrong Position. Its 16 Platinum Awards//1,120,000

Sales make it 4th equal, with 'Thriller', by Michael Jackson. 'Gold' should be a place above 'The Best Of ABBA', not a place behind it. Also - 'ABBA',(1975), sold 700,000 in Australia, so that should be in your List. (It has 14 X Platinum Awards by the old System). 14:50, 12 May 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.13.2.211 (talk)

Why is Shania Twain listed third when albums four and five have a larger figure in the "total" column? Brett.donald (talk) 05:41, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't albums with the same sales have the same ranking? I'd say obviously, but don't know why they're not. I think there should at least be an explanation if they are ranked for a reason.82.141.117.224 (talk) 01:57, 6 October 2009 (UTC) Why no AC/DC. They are the biggest sellers elswhere but not in Oz. Why?93.107.221.139 (talk) 19:51, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

no valid data. Please clarify and correct number or suffix! (see also Ordinal number (linguistics)) Sometimes numbers may be wrong and suffix will be correct for the correct number.

This is list of the best selling albums in Australia that sold at least 700,000 copies, based on Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) certifications and sales. There are five Australian artists in the list: John Farnham (being the highest album seller and 17th highest seller), Delta Goodrem (6th highest seller), Crowded House (10th highest seller), Savage Garden (12nd highest seller)

This is incorrect

All of these certifications happened recently at the 35/70 figures. Current certifications use the current figures so since all the certs here are based on ARIA cert levels they should use the correct (35/70) figures, not the 25/50 levels (which were not even official certifications). Also, the rankings are incorrect, if 5 albums tie for tenth then the next lowest certified album has a rank of 15th, not 11th.

Did 'Arrival' by ABBA, sell a Million, in Australia?

ARIA says it did - below is a very recent quote from the ARIA Facebook Page

https://www.facebook.com/ARIA.Official

 It is clearly referring to, 'The Best of ABBA', 'Arrival', & 'Gold'.

"Although Agnetha Faltskog has contributed significantly to three million-selling ABBA albums over the years, A is her first

top 10 album on the ARIA Charts as a solo artist. Her previous peak was with Wrap Your Arms Around Me, which hit No.49 in 1983". 86.13.2.211 (talk) 21:42, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ABBA Gold - wrong sources for platinum x16 claim

The apparent claim of ABBA Gold having been certified platinum x16 is not backed up by the stated source. The quoted source relates to a 1999 article when it passed platinum x13. It has sold enough for platinum x16 ; this was shown when it re-entered the ARIA chart in may 2013 for a week. It's certification was platinum x16 (Coachtripfan (talk) 20:44, 22 May 2013 (UTC))[reply]
