I read on the old board that it's Army
Am I correct that it's not possible for anyone to look at individual album sales - we can only go by what award the album got?

I can't answer the question but it wouldn't surprise me if it was Army because, before CDs really fell off a cliff, unit sales in general were (IIRR) climbing steadily year on year. But my sense of timing on this one may be out. Army itself was a very big hit, even though it only made No. 2 in the UK. And the album was a good one by their post-thingy standards. (Yes, yes, I know.)

I'd guess On the Level, reasons being it had a number 1 single, its releases on cd,
And Quo were pretty much one of the top bands in the UK/Europe(and Oz) at the time.
and the record buying public bought more albums in those days.

I would imagine it would have to be 12 Gold Bars, 48 weeks in the charts.

Would be really interesting to see the sales for each album And another thought : Is a well selling album necessarily a success? AC flopped - suggesting to me that Army wasn't liked that much by the masses that bought it. PR then flopped even more If A2 flopps, I think that may tell us more about A1 than it might A2 |

Perfect Remedy above QPQ certainly reflects the reduction in people buying albums. |

AC bigger than Piledriver ?? Not easy to believe It's based on time in the charts as opposed to actual sales, or even claimed sales. Its easy to forget what a great shifter of albums they were. Such a shame they never saw most of the money from the sales. |

I bought ITAN and couldn't wait to get rid of it. It didn't deserve the Quo name. I can see 12 Gold Bars beong up there. |
