"A huge survey" lol! Here is a bit more info on the "huge survey". Incidentally, Queen are named top global artist, Jackson is 3rd.

He also had that exclusive Walmart deal, I think on his box sets. I agree, some strange business decisions over the course of his career.

Hi Filippo, I just added up all the totals in far right column and it comes to 93,198,000 not 100m.

I suppose that could be another reason, that they have not fully adopted streaming yet and are still expanding and probably at a faster rate than West...

Don't really understand what you're meaning in the 3rd paragraph or how it relates to, why SAE artists don't have similar streaming totals in comparis...

1. Ok, so you don't think it's that, maybe it's not. 2. I'm not sure you're making the same point I was. My point wasn't so much about the size of ...

That's a huge jump, from the previous 5 times Platinum certification in 2013, an average of just over 1.2m per year! Brilliant figures. I see the RIA...

Of course there are errors, it is not an exact science, it is an attempt to get as accurate and as close as possible, to what an artists sales most li...

Pyromania only really sold and done well in the US and Canada. I remember in the 80s being shocked and surprised that Def Leppard and Pyromania were t...

What!? The Beatles have shifted around 365m albums, Jackson has shifted around 285m, that's an enormous difference and certainly not down to a surge i...

The problem is, you stated that “Her all around format success is unparalleled”, but when this was challenged as being a lie, you suddenly state that ...

Ah, biased, one sided, pro Taylor reasoning, gotta love obsessed fans, who only see things one way. lol

Oh, so now it's an "unparalleled year", "my agenda" etc etc etc lol The thing is, I'm not some child who get's upset with acts catching or surpassi...

You state/lie "Her all around format success is unparalleled", when it isn't, then say you meant only for women, when you didn't mention that to begin...

I wouldn't say her all round format success is unparalleled, as acts like The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Queen, Eminem etc all have outstanding success...

The orphan section just relates to songs that they recorded, that didn't appear on any of their studio albums. I'm guessing that Heaven & Hells Th...

Could you post links to those quotes? I'd like to see them, because that goes completely against what I'd taken from watching documentaries and interv...

You said "Artist gets publishing royalties for the songs, which are calculated based on the income of the concert. Eg. Guns’n Roses has performed Dyla...

Gross is good for press etc but what matters in business is profit. Bob Dylan/Guns N Roses £150m claim You stated Queen "doesn't sell Box Sets...

The thing is Mikko, you can't back any of this up. Quite often your assuming and reasoning is remarkably naive and incorrect, like the time you claime...

That's purely a subjective point of view and completely unmeasurable. On top of this, this site is quite obviously dedicated to music sales etc and no...

She's not the top performer of her generation (1998-2023), even if you were to give her the benefit of adding the Destiny's Child discography to her s...

Hi Trumru, yes club sales are already taken into account and included in all totals. Also, certifications such as those from the RIAA (US) and BPI (UK...

Yes, overall they had, when including singles, videos, downloads etc but I'm pretty sure in their (Queens) original analysis, prior to the film, they ...

Well, let's be honest, I've admitted to her insane popularity and success and that she may catch Madonna, that's obviously not what some delusional wo...
