Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" was the first album to be certified 10-times platinum in the UK, is the eighth best-selling album in UK chart history, is certified nine-times platinum in the United States, and is one of the world's best-selling albums, having sold over 30 million copies worldwide. If you watched MTV in the mid-'80s, you were all over "Money For Nothing" and "Walk Of Life", which were both in heavy rotation. "So Far Away" displays guitarist Mark Knopfler's riff-writing talents, while the title track is a songwriting tour-de-force.
