If people buy that many copies of it, it counts.

A compilation of the best bits of other albums isn't an original album.
The fact that so many number one hits came from a single album is one of the reasons Thriller is the biggest selling album of all time.

But OP is ok when including a soundtrack? What's the difference. At least a greatest hits album is all by the same artist.
MrXBob t1_iy9fbdo wrote
An PST is an album.. Why wouldn't it be? It's not a compilation form other albums.
It being made by multiple artists is irelevant. They made a single, cohesive album of tracks that were written to be together on an album for a single purpose.

The Bodyguard soundtrack was not a bunch of songs written to be together. There’s quite a few cover songs and stuff that had been previously released.

Very different to a compilation of an artists' "greatest hits"

Whatever the album was, it sure wasn’t this:

Why are you getting all pissy about making a mistake? It’s a part of life. You’ll be okay.
MrXBob t1_iyec1r6 wrote
Weird to presume I've made a mistake because the Bodyguard soundtrack had some other tracks on it that weren't written for the movie.
A soundtrack is absolutely not a compilation of an artists greatest hits. Therefore it is logical for it to be counted in the greatest selling albums of all time.
A mix tape of literally the best selling songs from a single artist is not an album. .

Ah your delusional then. Got it. You believe that Nick Lowe wrote (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding in 1974 for the intent to put it in a film in 1992 as part of a “cohesive album of tracks that were written to be together on an album for a single purpose.”

You're*
I'm sorry you like the Eagles. That must be really difficult for you.
Thanks for writing yet another paragraph I didn't read.

Ah yes, in 1992 the late great Bill Withers wrote Lovely Day and then jumped into a Time Machine, released in 1977 for some master plan including the intent to put it in a film in 1992 as part of a “cohesive album of tracks that were written to be together on an album for a single purpose.”

Go put on your Eagles mixtape. Kick back and relax. You need it. For your mental health.

Here’s some free phrases for you to use in the future that you can use instead of being so damn weird about being clearly and obviously wrong about something:
“Oh shoot, I didn’t realize that, thanks for the info”
“Ah, I guess I was mistaken.”
“I’m not a deluded psychopath so I’m just going to acknowledge the correct information and not spend hours doubling down on a mistake that only takes one minute to look up the correct information about.”

Ain't nobody got time to read that.
Eagles fans are odd. Sending mental health help your way. Check your inbox.

Oh shit, you get more pathetic by every comment. And I absolutely love that you know it. I hope you get the help you so obviously need.
MrXBob t1_iyevxj9 wrote
I'm sorry the mental health advice didn't help you. Maybe it's just as simple as asking mommy if she's sober enough for a hug today?
Whatever works for you.

How are you even a functioning person?! 😂 You’re so mad that someone politely pointed out that you were wrong when a song was written! This is too great!
Edit: this just keeps getting better. You blocked me and still keep downvoting all my comments as soon as they’re posted. What is going on with you? Whatever it is, I appreciate the smiles you’ve given me. But you know I can’t read your comments after you blocked me. Why did you write something that only you will read? Oh man, what an absolute train wreck. So. Fucking. Good.

Hey I would love to be your support toy today, but some of us have to work for a living.
Gotta add you to the block list for your own mental well being. And so I don't have to listen to you whine all day. Must be exhausting to be you.
Hope you sort your life out. It sounds difficult.
Kisses!
