The Eagles can sing this vict’ry song. They’ve earned it.

The band’s greatest-hits album has topped Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” to retake its crown as the best-selling album ever, the Recording Industry Association of America revealed Monday, according to the Associated Press.

“Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975” is now certified 38x platinum, topping 33x platinum for “Thriller.” In third place, “Hotel California,” also by the Eagles, has reached 26x platinum, or 26 million sales and streams. The RIAA in 2013 started to account for streams and downloads in their calculations.

“ ‘It’s been quite a ride.’ ” — Don Henley

“We are grateful for our families, our management, our crew, the people at radio and, most of all, the loyal fans who have stuck with us through the ups and downs of 46 years. It’s been quite a ride,” drummer and singer Don Henley, who also became a solo star, said in a statement cited in the AP.

The greatest-hits collection held the top spot for nearly a decade until “Thriller” passed it after Jackson’s death in 2009.

The band was formed in Los Angeles in the early 1970s, before breaking up in 1980 and then reuniting 14 years after that. Lead singer and guitarist Glenn Frey died in 2016, but the band continues to tour.
