S&G are well above Paul Simon in solo. Their sales are probably in the 120-140 million range, at the minimum ! We’ll see “Late in the evening”….
Honestly, quite underwhelming. And i doubt Simon and Garfunkel did any better.
Simon and Garfunkel did loads more! They were massive, biggest selling 60s artists after The Beatles I’d say!
Yep, looks like you were right.
Ok MJD. I didn’t pay attention to Santana because I thought you were only talking about solo artists and not about bands… And Cher neither. Seeing her face, I couldn’t imagine she was more old than 25 when she released Believe (lol)…
Oh please let’s have Simon and Garfunkel! 😊
Not bad
Never a big fan of simon………..but he has his place. Fav song is “kodachrome” and from
SandG “So long frank loyd wright”
I’m wondering what are the 2 most successful albums ever by an artist aged 45 or more ?… I’ve failed to find one. Eric Clapton’s Unplugged is a live album, so it can’be this one, I suppose… Very puzzling !
I’d say Pink Floyd – The Division bell.
Actually forget I said that..
Hi Winston!
Cher’s Believe is slightly ahead while the still unstudied Santana with Supernatural will be the #1 on that ‘old guns’ category 😉
I wonder if a Simon & Garfunkel article is coming next?
Hi Isaiah!
Yes, Simon & Garfunkel is coming tonight 😉
Thanks, thanks and thanks ! I was hoping this one since many months !
