@esin at the moment Eagles are about 4M EAS ahead of Metallica who are still enriching their catalog and having a more global appeal. I'm sure Metalli...
@kipper The Beatles are still the best-selling artist of all time, with approximately 520 million (M) equivalent album sales (EAS) right now. Runner-u...
@mikko I think Kipper means something else. It's about the fact that until a few days ago, McCartney's total EAS was still at 118 million, and now it'...
@esin Certification means shipments, not sales.
@scotjoncon01 not all artists are included, only those being analyzed.
@stevenn85 If you broke down albums, singles, downloads and streams by country, that would have been too much information put in. No article has that....
Very interesting are the overall numbers at nearly 60M EAS for Soviet singer-songwriter Vladimir Vysotsky (1938 – 1980). Although singing exclusively ...
Surely this will happen at some point in the future. But at the moment, there's no reason for a Janet Jackson update anytime soon, as other artists ar...
Another thing. I've read that German bandleader James Last has sold more than 80M EAS worldwide. I strongly guess his biggest share of success was in ...
@mjd thank you. I just discovered it that you added some artists. Very interesting. I'm from Europe and when I grew up Cliff Richard was kind of eve...
I would love to read sales articles about Lionel Richie/Commodores (I assume both beyond 100M EAS aggregated), Chicago (more than 100M EAS? Dunno!), C...
I expect them a little lower than Foreigner, let's say 60M EAS. They had huge sellers up to around mid-70s. After that their sales for new releases cl...
I expect them at around 75M EAS worldwide.
For an artist who only debuted in the last decade, Seventeen have a fairly small percentage of streaming compared to their relatively high pure album ...
You personally can count the sales in your own statistics however you like. Nevertheless, Travelling Wilburys are understood as an artist on its own a...
Regarding the list, it is probably not planned right now. An update would make little sense at the moment, as the biopic as a potential booster has no...
Hello, I'd like to ask what approximate percentage of Queen's sales (285M EAS at the moment) did Queen generate before Freddie Mercury's passing (N...
Hello! For Genesis, If I add up the following values: Original albums: 78,400,000*1 + other albums: 28,082,000*1 + physical singles: 13,910,000*...
As has been mentioned on this site, most artists release averagely more than half of their value – 50 percent plus their total EAS – within four to ei...
For once, I have to agree with Mikko. It is obvious that artists who are better known among younger internet users are listed higher than artists who ...
I don't know what you're talking about, except that you obviously have no plan what equivalent album sales mean. I'd recommend you to come back when y...
At that time up until the 1980s, stadium concerts were not yet common, even for top international stars like MJ. Only the Rolling Stones were already ...
Just wondering why no one commenting here has noticed so far. Whether like her or not, this is an extraordinary achievement: Congratulations to Mrs...
You’d have to explain in more detail what is supposed to be presumptuous about my message. In any case, I can explain to you why your original comment...
Always these absolutistic statements. It's getting pretty worn out, you know. Claiming that nobody knows them is just as presumptuous as saying that e...
