Rewind

There were a lot of great albums that year, but only one truly dominated the charts.

Can You Guess What The Biggest Album Of 1996 Was?

That No. 1 spot was only a daydream, a mere fantasy — but it was so close, coming in at the second-best-selling album of 1996.

Nope! Not the biggest album of 1996.

This may not have been the best-selling album, but it did win two Grammys, including Best Rap Album in 1996!

In fact this album wasn’t released until 1997. It has gone on to sell 39 million copies since then!

And I'm here to remind you, that this album was the biggest, best-selling album of 1996!

CORRECT!

Is it all coming back to you now that this album spent only three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1? It still went on to sell an impressive 32 million copies.

Take a deep breath because this was still the No. 1 movie soundtrack of 1996!

There is no doubt that this album was wildly successful, but mostly in 1997, when it was the second-best-selling album!

Zig-a-zig-AH! You were off by a year! This one topped _Billboard_'s year-end list for 1997.

If I told you this was the best-selling album of 1996, I'd be lion. (Sorry, not sorry.)
