Various packages include songs from both MJ and the J5, so they can appear under the compilation section of both articles. Their sales are spread among both though, avoiding double counting. For example, you can see The Ultimate Collection box on page 40, it includes songs from 8 Jackson 5’s albums. But sales assigned to them add for only 90k out of the 600k total, the remaining 510k sales going to MJ’s albums as per the distribution of streams!

In the case of Queen, their Greatest Hits 1 & 2 alone are well above 50 mill.
I think there are only 3 more artists with the shot of being above 200m: Queen, Elton and Elvis. The latter has a chance of breaking 300m, though i doubt it.

Are you combining Michael Jackson’s total with these like you did for Beyonce with DC?

Only a few albums were not certified Gold/Platinum, that’s great! 60s and 70s albums didn’t sold a lot of copies by then, with some few exceptions.

Not a huge showing………..but the boost to MJ’s solo material is going to be significant

Just curious, did you add the total of video sales from MJ solo and Jackson 5? Hope those weren’t counted 2wice.
