Guess who just overtook Michael Jackson in terms of album sales (in the US)?

Despite the recent certification of 32X platinum of "Thriller" by the RIAA, Billy Joel has pulled ahead of MJ by a bigger margin in terms of album sales (82.5 vs. 79 million) with the 3X platinum certification (on March 3, 2016) of "The Essential Billy Joel".

Surprising, isn't it?
