And now the top 20 bestselling albums for 1993(some of these were released in '92 but obviously kept selling in 93....which shows how albums used to have a lot more staying power....more singles were released and albums would be pushed for longer. Like Salt N Pepa, I think they were still putting out singles into early '95 of that album.

It was way different back then due to the fact that technology wasn't as advanced as it is now. Artists weren't paranoid about their albums being leaked and being shared through P2P networks.
