In the US, Eagles: Their Greatest Hits record (1971-1975) is the biggest selling album ever. Officially it has been certified at 38 Million copies (4 Million MORE than Thriller). It is the third best selling album in the world and largest selling Greatest Hits album.

Aerosmith's Greatest Hits (1980, so pre 80s songs) has sold 12 Million in the US

Eagles Greatest Hits Vol. 2 has sold 11M in the US.

Hotel California has sold 26 Million and is listed as the third best selling album ever in the US.

No other Aerosmith album has reached 10M in the US.

While Aerosmith as a band has been able to be stable for more years and release more albums than Eagles, I gotta give this to Eagles.

Sales is never a metric that I use to convince someone of the superiority of something unless I’m talking about business. When it comes to art, even consumer art, it’s an individual experience. For me, I prefer Aerosmith’s music overall to The Eagles.
