List of best-selling albums by country

The following is a list of best-selling albums by country. Depends on the measurement, record sales of albums are taken by estimations or certifications.

Note that some of the data are incomplete due to a lack of available published data from a number of territories, unlike the United Kingdom and the United States with recognized national measurement firms and certifying bodies such as Official Charts Company/British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and Nielsen SoundScan/Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) respectively. Therefore, it is not an exhaustive list, so no rankings are given in certain cases.

• All sales figures are based on certifications as detailed in Ελληνικἠ Δισκογραφἰα 1950 - 2023, Πἐτρος Δραγουμἀνος (Greek Discography 1950–2023 by Petros Dragoumanos) except as otherwise noted.
• IFPI Greece counts each disc within a double album as a single unit for the purposes of gold and platinum awards, treating double albums as two separate units for certification calculations. To accurately report sales figures per album unit, this chart adjusts certifications for double albums to total units sold by dividing the certification amount by the number of discs (2) in the LP.
• Total streams per album are used as tiebreaker for albums with same certification levels
