DIRE STRAITS "on every street" cd, 1991:
a revisit...
the band's sixth and final album...
contains all the soft rock/easy listening elements we expect from Knopfler…
the two weakest track (for me) are the ones issued as the first two singles in
Calling Elvis/Heavy Fuel, but their still likeable...
album just keeps on getting better with age IMO, probably because it is for themost part
forgotten by mainstream radio, and was never over played back in the day neither...
surprised to find that it has sold over fifteen million copies, I would never have guessed that
in fifteen million years, LOL....
pretty well closing in on being regarded as my go to, and favourite, album of theirs
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
as a footnote:
on the fifteen million sales of this album I have found a list on the internet which calculates not only physical sales but also downloads and streaming figures,
so incorporating all those together here is the rundown of Dire Straits studio album combined sales figures to 2018:
1....Brothers In Arms....45.7 million
2....Dire Straits...……….23.1 million
3....On Every Street.....15.1 million
4....Making Movies...….11.7 million
5....Love Over Gold...….9.4 million
6....Communique...…….7.4 million
