Subject: The Biggest Albums of the 80s
Written By: whistledog on 09/12/11 at 12:39 pm
Thriller by Michael Jackson was the BIGGEST selling album of the 80s. It was not the only BIG album of the decade. What were some others?
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51H687GRWPL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
Kissing to Be Clever. The 1982 debut album by Culture Club. It spawned three hit singles:
1982 - Do You Really Want to Hurt Me
1982 - Time (Clock of the Heart)
1983 - I'll Tumble 4 Ya
The album peaked at #14 in the US. I do not have a complete chart run for that, but in the UK, it peaked at #5 (spending 59 non-consecutive weeks in the chart between October 16, 1982 - April 21, 1984) and in Canada, it peaked at #2 (spending 81 consecutive weeks in the chart between January 22, 1983 - August 11, 1984)

BAM! Second biggest of all time (Mike's is bigger than mine...)
It charted somewhere on the charts, then rose to an undisclosed spot at some point. Sales dipped shortly afterward then climbed again and continued to rise until it tent-poled the sheets...

Technically, Save A Prayer was a hit, but not until 1984, and by then, it was paired with the release of the Arena live album, which always seemed weird as the Live version was the B side.

Philip Glass: Glassworks
CBS/1982
http://www.freecodesource.com/album-cover/51yvnLApjkL/-Glassworks---1982.jpg
The Philip Glass Ensemble, conductor: Michael Riesman
Album: #121
Glassworks was my first appreciation of Minimalism. It would barely register a blip as a pop album, but as a "classical" album, a genre in which 2000 units sold is considered an impressive run, reaching 121 on the Billboard album chart made it a blockbuster!

I think their follow-up 'Colour by numbers' was probably Culture Club's biggest album, hitting their peak with their hit 'Karma Chameleon'.

What do you mean 'chart-run'?
I've just checked Wikipedia album stats for Culture Club and Colour by numbers did better than Kissing to be Clever in the charts in every country except for Austria and France, Colour by numbers got to number 4 in the album chart in Switzerland as Kissing to be Clever didn't even get a look in. Kissing to be clever sold 2.5 million in the world (1.5 in the US) and Colour by numbers sold over 10 million copies around the world.

Based on sales, it was bigger.
I was going with the length of time it spanned the charts.
Some albums can sell big pretty quickly, but when an album (or song) can stay in the charts for over a year, that is impressive.

I wouldn't know how to calculate the total lengths of each country's chart span or where I would get that information from. Personally, if I was in a band I would rather sell 10 million in a heartbeat than 2.5 over the course of months.

I do see what you mean. I have a good example of that from a UK chart book I have ...
Now That's What I Call Music, the first in the legendary UK compilation series was released in November of 1983. In December of 1985, it was certified-triple platinum in the UK.
Now that's What I Call Music 6 was released in November of 1985. It was also certified UK triple-platinum in December of 1985

I love "Hang Fire." It's scarcely two minutes long. It didn't rise as high in the charts as "Start Me Up" and "Waiting on a Friend," but MTV used to play the video a lot.
I don't remember the bikini boobs at 0:45 being there.

Music for the Masses' chart action understates the album's pop culture potency. MftM earned Depeche Mode mainstream recognition in America and paved the way for the multiplatinum "Violator" in 1990.

A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS
Jive/1982
http://crocmusic.com/images/albums_large/155/a_flock_of_seagulls_flock_of_seagulls.jpg
Album: #10 (U.S. Gold)
Singles:
Telecommunications: --
I Ran (So Far Away): #9
A Space Age Love Song: #30
The first of the new "British Invasion" New Wave band's to "score" a Gold record in America. AFOS didn't sell multiplatinum, but they remain iconic of the New Wave period and that counts as much as selling 10 million units.
Non-album single:
(It's Not Me) Talking: #45 (UK--Indie)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/68/ItsNotMeTalking-Original.jpg
The band's first single (It's not me) Talking was produced by Bill Nelson and reached #45 on the UK Indie charts. The song was not included on the first album, but was rerecorded and released on the "Listen" album and then was released as a U.S. single. It did not perform on the charts, but the song was always lurking around in the band's short-lived peak in 1982 and 1983. The band also won a Grammy for "DNA," as "Instrumental of the Year," but were not available to appear on television to accept it. If they could have gotten just a bit more bigtime national exposure, I think they could have stretched their popularity and additional 18 months. Remember, Mike Score does not don his famous hairstyle until the U.S. tours of 1982 and the "Listen" tours. Score got rid of the Seagull haircut after the "Listen" tour, telling the press he wasn't interested in being a sci-fi schtick band, like Hawkwind. Well, Hawkwind stayed together for forty years and made dozens of albums and became a prog rock legend. I was hoping AFOS would stay working with Conny Plank and Mike Howlett after "Listen," and maybe even get Brian Eno to produce the next record. I was hoping they'd go experimental/electronic progressive rock. But no. Mike Score tried to go love-song oriented Top 40 and the band fell to pieces by 1985.

Word got around from my sister's hipster friends that The Clash had "sold out." I was like, "Hey, wait a minute, you guys pissed and moaned about The Clash being the only band that mattered and the mainstream didn't take notice, then when we do take notice, you call the band a sell-out. Can't win with hipsters!" I mean, I couldn't articulate it as such when I was a kid, but that's how it seemed!

Then after Mick Jones split to do B.A.D. the hipsters were poo-pooing Strummer because "Cut the Crap" wasn't selling. I bought that record and it was totally half-assed...except "This is England," which is one of the best singles of 1985!
