Best-Selling Albums of the 1980s Quiz

The 22 albums released from 1980 through 1989 that the published worldwide-sales table credits with 20 million or more copies. Name each record from its artist and release year, answer twenty questions about the music and its making, match albums to artists, order a selection by certified copies, or sort members into reported-sales bands. The list is a sales threshold rather than a critics’ ranking, and the tile decoys are real 1980s Billboard year-end number-one albums outside the worldwide 20-million table. Reported figures are round press claims, so the ordering round uses the stricter national certification totals instead.
