Rock bands rarely sell singles. Some achieved one big crossover hit at best. The Foo Fighters have no such song, and their singles weren’t even released in the US so their sales in this format are somewhat irrelevant. Across their entire career, they moved only 1,4 million physical singles.
I would like to see the CSPC for:
The Who
The Doors
The Moody Blues
Simon & Garfunkel
Deep Purple
Kiss
Duran Duran
Eurythmics

I guess !!!

Wow, almost forty million album units sold worldwide. I thought it would be a little lower than that, but this is not too shabby. 😃
Rock!!!
