I found this a very interesting chart as six of the best selling Carpenters discs are compilations.
If we take out the compilations the best selling Carpenters studio albums on amazon.com are as follows
6. Karen Carpenter (solo)
5. Carpenters
4. Horizon
3. Close To You
2. A Song For You
1. Now And Then
It's basically the Carpenters' classic five and Karen's solo album which are garnering the most interest right now. It strikes me that with the very consistent sales of Karen's solo album it has been discontinued... for some reason that doesn't seem right. Most likely it will be rereleased in the very near future.
I was also happy to see that "Horizon" is one of amazon.com's best selling Carpenters discs. I can't help to think that Carpenters Avenue, Carpenters Online and related sites have had a little bit to do with it's popularity... we sell it on a regular basis.
I also thought it was interesting that both "Singles 1969-1983" and "Singles 1969-1983" (SACD Edition) were in the Top Three... I have purchased both.
If we go a few points down the list we find
13. Gold: Greatest Hits (Sound + Vision)
14. Gold: Greatest Hits
15. Christmas Collection
16. Christmas Portrait
17. The Singles 1969-1973
18. As Time Goes By
19. Transmissions
20. Essential Collection 1965 - 1997
