Where’s Selena Quintanilla aka Selena? When she died, her album sales skyrocketed. She has sold 18 million albums. She deserves to be on the CSPC request list. She is very popular.
Where’s the spanish singer Selena. When she died, her album sales went skyrocketing. She should be on the list
I need Twice stats please
Why no Radiohead?
we need kanye’s stats man if you need help i can do it pleasee
I’d be curious to see a CSPC article for Def Leppard.
I guess they will be between 75-80 million EAS.
I Think they have already reached 100 million EAS.
No they’d be around 75m, i.e. about half of Neil Diamond (not studied yet).
My estimate is higher.
The First six studio albums have more than 75 mil. EAS.
As one of the world’s best-selling music artist, Def Leppard have sold more than 100 milion records worldwide, and have two albums with RIAA Diamond certification: Pyromania and Hysteria, making them one of only five rock bands with two original studio albums selling more than 10 milion copies in the US.
Who’s actually next?
I saw Kanye West way down the list.
Has it actually started again after Sinatra?
Kiss PLEASE , Now is the right time
Nightwish please
Does he have a change to get into the rankings band Nightwish ?
