Use Your Illusion 1
"We had thirty-six songs, which was more than enought to fill a double album. I wanted to choose the twelve best of the thirty-six and hone them down to perfection." (Slash)

With enough music for two albums, Guns N' Roses released Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II the same day. Use Your Illusion albums debuted at number 2 and 1 respectively on the Billboard charts, setting a record as they became the first and only band to date to achieve this feat.
