Records that didn't deserve to sell millions, but did
Shameless copycat thread. But I'll put in my 2 cents: "Significant Other" by Limp Bizkit. Good golly, I could make a list a mile long.

1. The absolutely #1 example is...
"Frampton Comes Alive!" I have no idea why anyone would buy that, yet it sold zillions!

5. Diana Ross & Lionel Richie, "Endless Love."
I recently came into a CD copy of an AMERICAN TOP 40 show from September 1981. At the time, that turgid ballad was on its way to spending nine weeks at #1! Why, America, why??? :hurts::puke:
