Where To Watch
Can you recognize the best-selling albums of the 1960s from the cover art?
Musicals gave rock a run for its money.
Yes, the Beatles sold a ton of records in the Sixties. Millions upon millions worldwide. But they did not dominate the charts in the America as much as you might think. (The Fab Four certainly ruled Britain, however.)
Good old fashioned musicals were a dominant force on the market throughout the 1960s. Mom and dad were still buying LPs, you know. That would explain the Herb Alpert, too.
But the end of the decade, hard rock finally broke through. Let's see if you can recognize these best-selling albums from the decade on both sides of the pond. Good luck!

Being a big music fan of the 1960's I easily got them all right. But there is an error on question #9 which states: "This Beatles LP was the U.K.'s best-selling album in 1963." The correct answer is "Please Please Me" which spent over six months at the top of the charts. "With The Beatles" was released near the end of that year.
This is getting old. #3 was definitely not Grease!! but it says I got it wrong when I chose west side
You got 9 out of 12
Yet I did have a hard time with #6 I did enny menny minny moe lol it worked I got the right one the others my dad was a musical record person so I recognized those. the names being there for the musicals helped..
You know if you hit the back button after the first run you can get them alright.😇
12/12, and I was born in '64! #12 was one of my personal favorites; I'd bug my sister to death to play it again...and again...
There was a mistake on the Jimi Hendrix Are you Experienced Album question - it was released in 1967 not 1968.
FUN FACT: The Monkees Hated the picture on the More Of The Monkees album because the picture was taken not for the album but a ad for JC PENNY!

I'll have to get the Iron Butterfly CD now that I'm reminded.
Perfect score. Lucky guesses.
