We all have our favourite music, films or books — but which are the most popular ever?

The most popular album (音乐专辑)

Thriller by Michael Jackson

At the time Jackson started writing his best-selling album Thriller, he hoped that his album would sell 50 million copies. He was wrong — it sold over ten million more than that. Even today around 130,000 copies are sold in the USA every year.

The most popular classical music

Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony

When Beethoven was alive, his Fifth Symphony wasn’t his most popular piece of music. But now most people know the da da da dah introduction. In the 20th century, the first four notes (音符) were used by other musicians to make different types of music like hiphop and rock and roll.
