List of best-selling albums in Greece

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Variations of this chart have been around for years, always contradicting each other. IFPI also changes sale certification numbers yearly due to lagging sales, and as article use to state "No specific figures have been released officially by IFPI's board", which is still true. The only source given for the individual numbers is compiled by a private TV show that is not related to IFPI, the official album sale compiler in Greece. And even then, the way the TV show compiled the numbers is considered questionable at best, as they say for example "It has sold over 160,000 copies". It seems that it is more speculative based on certifications of the album, (And adding up threshold numbers to form a conclusion on total sale numbers) rather than officially endorsed numbers from IFPI.

 * Delete per nom, IFPI keeps mucking with the numbers so such a list will be forever useless. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 20:18, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, IFPI Greece has never issued such a list- they only issue certifications but almost never indicate specific sales numbers beyond the certification thresholds. Furthermore even the sources in the article contradict themselves. Imperatore (talk) 23:02, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete The numbers here are very contradictory with all other sources in the media and they seem very high for Greek sales. If you see the Gia (album) page you will see that ANT1, owner of heaven has cited Gia as having sold 170,000 copies, while Allmusic has cited Notis Sfakianakis' album 5o Vima as the best-selling album of all time. These sources do not only contradict mainstream ones, but also contradict themselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GreekStar12 (talk • contribs)
