Post by: GIUMK on November 27, 2021, 09:04:53 PM
Hello guys.  A curiosity: how many copies has the first Dire Straits album sold?  Has it reached 20 million copies? Thanks to those who will answer.

I wish illegal listenings and copies would also count. With this, the debut album could easily reach 20 million :lol
