Default All million selling albums in France

Hello everyone!

I have been a music fan for very long as many of you. Along with it, I also got deeply involved with the industry aspect of music, doing an heavy amount of researches about record sales and such.

A couple of months ago I started compiling all best selling albums in France. As there is various international releases concerned I though about sharing it here. I started with the most recent million sellers and day by day I can back in history, so far I'm up to year 1987, posting yesterday articles about U2's Joshua Tree and Michael Jackson's Bad among others.

Obviously, if that interest you I can answer some requests about other artists.
