Often regarded as an album band, Simon & Garfunkel sold large amounts of records with their big hits. The Boxer sold close to 2 million units while The Sound of Silence, Mrs. Robinson, El Condor Pasa (If I Could) and Cecilia all topped that mark. Their champion is Bridge Over Troubled Water with more than 4 million units, a rare achievement in physical singles. The duo sold nearly 24 million singles in total in spite of their relatively short career.
I still can’t stand them. They are obnoxious with their pedo song.
This is insane, They released only five albuns, but reached 124 million CSPC! David Bowie for instance, needed to release 27 albums to produce the same numbers.
This websites design is atrocious! I’d offer some tips, but I’m not even sure where to start.
Yuck!
Looks great now!
