I was reading another one of the many stories about the Beatles music being available on iTunes, which turned about to be just another rumor. These are all over the internet but Sony music, who owns the licensing, denies any of these stories as true. At the end of this particular story on applesource, there’s a chart showing the best selling music artists of all time. It caught my eye as an interesting mix of artists, many of whom I would not associate together, but this list is based only on sales.
The 10 best-selling music acts of all time based on millions of albums & singles sold: (Source: Recording Industry Association of America)
The Beatles - 191 million
Elvis Presley - 168.5 million
Garth Brooks - 128.5 million
Led Zeppelin - 112 million
The Eagles - 101.5 million
Elton John - 91 million
Billy Joel - 83.5 million
Barbra Streisand - 78 million
Madonna - 78 million
Mariah Carey - 76.5 million
Pink Floyd - 75.5 million
