Sold Album

  95.926.263




Some day before the Christmas of 1999, the Damage Management of Ed Bicknell diffused the exact number of disks sold by Mark Knopfler (with or without the Dire Straits) in all the world. Look at below (albums in order of appereance):



Dire Straits 10.406.805 Live At The BBC 506.203
Communiqué 7.331.619 Local Hero 1.515.779
Making Movies 7.627.688 Cal 658.767
Love Over Gold 8.460.104 Last Exit To Brooklyn 246.220
Alchemy 4.977.645 The Princess Bride 511.585
Brothers In Arms 25.243.216 Screenplaying 400.198
On Every Street 8.552.350 Golden Heart 1.557.196
Money For Nothing 13.232.223 Missing... presumed
   having a good Time
1.738.511
On The Night 2.820.799 Wag The Dog 139.355


If I have calculated right, the total is 95.926.263 disks.

Naturally this statistic DO NOT content SULTANS OF SWING, the compilation that actually is around 3 millions of disks sold: In a few time Mark will surpass 100 millons of disks in all the world!


Here you can find a graph that better represent what albums are the most sold between the Mark Knopfler's fans.
