Top Selling HC Album of all time?
Mrs. Reed83 was wondering what would be the highest selling HC album of all time. I wasn't 100%. Here are the ones that come to mind:
1. Age Of Quarrel
2. Minor Threat Discography
3. Walk Among Us
4. Some AF Record that I don't know the name of
I now send it over to the HC Experts here at the Thorp Board

definitely not AF
Its too hard to say what "hardcore" is but I'd say probably something HATEBREED- satisfaction is the death of desire. I heard that cd is close to
hitting a million sales.
DRI supposedly did really well with THRASHZONE
MISFITS walk among us was a huge seller for them
I'd bet it was something HATEBREED or a crossover type band like that. It would be interesting to find out though. Seriously.
Maybe MINOR THREAT like you said. I have no idea.

If I'm not mistaken, during an interview with Ian Mceye (sp?) he claimed that the discography has sold like 1.3 million and that was a few years ago.
Obviously it took YEARS to get that number. Who knows.

i'm figuring it would be one of the records you see on the 14 year old skater kids t shirts. you know the reprints from 15 years ago.
i'd bet the dead kennedys sold a bunch of records.

Here are a few that come to my mind as good sellers....
Misfits - Collection I
Black Flag - Damage
Hatebreed - ?????
Some that probably are not 'hard core'....
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - most of them
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks
Danzig - Danzig I
Atreau
Avenge Seven Fold

as much as i'd like to think its something from twenty years ago, i bet that with the way kids buy cd's nowadays it's something relatively new. i'd
say sex pistols or ramones but thats punk so what do i know?

I'd agree with Biohazard - Urban dicipline.
I'm sure Earth Crises sold alot of copies of Destroy The Machines too.

having worked in an independant record store for over 5 years here's what i saw as the best selling "hardcore" cds
minor threat-discography
dead kennedys-any of them
black flag-most of them
nofx-sold tons of them. never heard them myself
rancid-all of their cds. sold ALOT of them
the clash-self titled and london calling. all kinds of people buy the clash not just punk rock types. lotta squares like the clash it seems

Rancid is a good guess too, but if you count Rancid do you count Bling 182 cause Im sure they are in the MULTI millions of records sold.

Sick of it All might have sold a lot of copies for Built To Last. I remeber seeing the CD everywhere when it first came out when I had no idea who
they were. It was their first major label release too I think so might have got pushed hard.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

^^^^^ Supposedly in a interview Lou said that there cds sell ok in the begiining but then peeter off after a few weeks. The ones who like them buy it
right away and then the its just some here and there. they say most if any money comes from tours and not the cds.

I would put my money on Rancid as well.
They are such a good band. Love all their stuff with the exception of Life Won't Wait. That record made me cry.
Also I would have to say that SOD was a good call as well.

My money is on Hatebreed unless you count AFI or Atreau or one of those bands as being 'hardcore'

How many albums has hatebreed sold. I think their top seller was only like 250,000 or so. Biohazard "Urban Discipline" sold over a million.
My money is on Age of Quarrel or Minor Threat.
C'mon some of this highroller on this board has to have a soundscan account. Or, maybe someone could have into soundscan for us.

I know it says hardcore records of all time but I was loking fro a total list of SOUNDSCAN of bands.
This is all I found so far. Its of SEATTLE bands only. I thought it would be interesting to post. I will still hunt around for HARDCORE bands. I want
to know who is the top selling HARDCORE band or at least the biggest selling record.
Pearl Jam, Ten (1991): 8,677,424
Nirvana, Nevermind (1991): 7,459,561
Pearl Jam, Vs. (1993): 5,732,644
Pearl Jam, Vitalogy (1994): 4,583,173
Nirvana, Unplugged in New York City (1994): 4,038,249
Nirvana, In Utero (1993): 3,510,692
Soundgarden, Superunknown (1994): 3,402,162
Queensryche, Empire (1990): 3,182,764

Soundgarden, Badmotorfinger (1991): 1,327,997
Foo Fighters, Foo Fighters** (1995): 1,230,900*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Listed because band leader Courtney Love still lived in Seattle when the album was recorded. Besides, we all know that Kurt wrote the songs.
** Listed because Dave Grohl recorded the album in Seattle?and because he'd yet to become a goofball publicity hound with a misshapen goatee.
