The Immaculate Collection is the first greatest hits album by American singer Madonna, released on November 9, 1990, by Sire Records. It contains new remixes of fifteen of her hit singles from 1983 to 1990, as well as two new songs. Its title is a pun on the Immaculate Conception, the conception of the Virgin Mary without the stain of original sin. An extended play titled The Holiday Collection was released in Europe to accompany the compilation and the re-release of "Holiday", which included three hits not included on the main compilation. It is the first album ever to use the audio technology QSound.
In the United States, The Immaculate Collection reached number two on the Billboard 200, while topping the album charts in the United Kingdom. It became Madonna's second album to be certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of over ten million copies in the United States. It also spent the second highest number of consecutive weeks at number one for a female solo artist in the United Kingdom, being at number one for a nine-week stint, before being surpassed by Adele's 21. Additionally, the album topped the charts in Australia, Canada and Finland, and reached the top five in France, the Netherlands and Spain.

Metallica is the self-titled fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica. Released on August 12, 1991, by Elektra Records, it is commonly referred to as The Black Album because of its packaging design. Its recording took place at One on One Studios in Los Angeles over an eight-month span that frequently found Metallica at odds with their new producer Bob Rock. The album marked a change in the band's music from the thrash metal style of their previous four albums to a slower, heavier, and more refined sound.

Tango in the Night is the 14th studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. Released in April 1987, it is the fifth and to date last studio album from the band's most successful line-up of Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood.

Dreamland is the debut studio album by Robert Miles. It was released on June 7, 1996, in Europe, where it was a hit, and was also released in the United States about a month later, with a new track sung by Maria Nayler, "One and One." This new track became very popular and was later released as a single in the U.S. and Germany.

Главной особенностью The Fat of the Land является невероятный коммерческий успех для группы. За первую неделю в Англии было продано свыше 300 тысяч копий, а позже - свыше миллиона. Этот альбом вошёл в книгу рекордов Гиннеса, как наиболее быстро распроданный британский альбом. В 1999 году был также номинирован на премию «Грэмми». Альбом дебютировал под №1 на американском Billboard Top 200. Это стало большим достижением, поскольку большинство электронных альбомов плохо продавались в США. Альбом стал дважды платиновым и разошёлся тиражом в США более чем 2 миллионов копий. На 2012 год альбом продан по всему миру в количестве более 10 миллионов.
