  On the list of the 69 albums that have sold 20M or more, which is the newest album and which is the oldest?

  The newest has gotta be pop. Gaga or Adele or something. Oldest maybe Pink Floyd?

• Steel Valley Football

  Neither is Brian Jones for that matter.

  LOL just kidding. Texting a friend is perfectly legal in my OC trivia game.
