Really two categories in this list. First the big storms, the like Saturday Night Fever, Le Grand Bleu, Bodyguard, Titanic. Those albums arrived, destroyed everything and left.

Then, there is Grease. This one had both, the massive hype when first released and incredible catalog sales with unmatchable revivals all along the 90s, bringing it to outstanding total sales.
