Best selling albums of all time

Here's an AI list of the top selling albums of all time:

1) Michael Jackson – Thriller
2) Eagles – Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)
3) AC/DC – Back in Black
4) Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon
5) Whitney Houston / Various Artists – The Bodyguard (Soundtrack)
6) Bee Gees – Saturday Night Fever
7) Fleetwood Mac – Rumours
8) Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin IV
9) Michael Jackson – Bad
10) The Beatles – Abbey Road

I'm just wondering which of these are owned and enjoyed by audiophiles and which would probably never be played on their systems?

I hope I'm not sounding like a music snob. Personally, I would play AC/DC, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and maybe Thriller.

My first search was "The top selling albums of all time". There were lots of results but not in 100% agreement. So to keep it simple, I asked Aria (an AI that comes with the Opera browser) the same question. I asked Aria again but included the words "worldwide sales" and the answer changed a bit -  Zep lV, Bad and Abby Road no longer in top 10.

Thriller - Michael Jackson: 70 million copies
Back in Black - AC/DC: 50 million copies
The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd: 45 million copies
The Bodyguard (Soundtrack): 45 million copies
Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) - Eagles: 42 million copies
Rumours - Fleetwood Mac: 40 million copies
