back in black
all albums included on this list have their available claimed figures supported by at least 30% in certified copies. the percentage amount of certified sales needed increases the newer the album is, so albums released before 1975 are only expected to have their claimed figures supported by at least 30% in certified copies. however, newer albums, such as "21" and "come away with me", are expected to have their claimed figures supported by at least 70% in certified copies. certified copies are sourced from available online databases of local music industry associations. this is the reason why albums that would otherwise make the list, such as "the sound of music", "in-a-gadda-da-vida", "parallel lines", "spirits having flown", "private dancer", "janet", "believe", "bolo ta ra ra..", "human clay", "laundry service" and "back to black", have not been included.
