Million Seller Songs is a compilation album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in the fall of 1962 by Cadence Records. This third album to compile the singer's material features some of the most successful songs Williams had recorded to date (albeit, in most cases, successful for another artist), and the collection made its first appearance on the Billboard Top LP's chart in the issue dated January 12, 1963, and remained there for 43 weeks, peaking at #54.
