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 such as Official Charts Company and Nielsen SoundScan respectively. Therefore, it is not an exhaustive list, so no rankings are given in certain cases.
