    Numbers aren’t everything when it comes to music; there are a plethora of captivating artists who have never had a #1 hit, a #1 album or a certified platinum record. With that being said, however, it’s always fun to dive into the numbers and see what artists and albums dominated sales.

    Today, we’re going to dive into the Top 40 highest-selling albums in country history, according to RIAA’s album sales.

    It should come as no surprise that Garth Brooks absolutely dominates this list, owning 10 of the highest-selling country albums of all time. Legends such as George Strait, Kenny Rogers, Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw also make appearances.

    Surprisingly, only a few albums of the 21st century appear on the list with Morgan Wallen, Carrie Underwood, Luke Combs and reigning Time Person of the Year, Taylor Swift, owning entries in the Top 40.
