THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
JOURNEY...Journey's Greatest Hits (1988)
(CD, Allmusic review)
15 million sold and counting. It only reached number 10 on the US Billboard album charts but it continues to sell around a million units a year. It currently is number 44 on the charts. Pretty good for an album that's 23 years old. It is a fun listen, containing all the favorite Journey hits we all know and love. I highly recommend it for your collection
