Male artist are more talented overall
I think more is expected of them when it comes to musicianship too. Just compare the highest male sellers to the highest female sellers.
Men:
Elvis is somwhere near the top but his numbers are unknown
1. The Beatles - 403,978,000 (update: Mar 2017
2 Michael Jackson 323,741,000 (update: Sep 2017)
3 Rolling Stones 234,825,000(update: Dec 2016)
5 Pink Floyd 229,426,000 (update: Jun 2017)
6 Led Zepplin 198,856,000 (update: Aug 2016)
7 U2 192,494,000 (update: Aug 2016)
8 Bruce Springsteen 157,024,000 (update: Jul 2017)
9 Bee Gees 156,874,000 (update: Apr 2017)

Re: Male artist are more talented overall
I just realized there's more diversity on the male list. Men are mainly Rock but have some Pop, Disco, Hip Hop and R&B thrown in. Women are Pop with a dash of R&B and watered down country

Success does not equal talent or musicanship. Joni Mitchell, Darlene Love and Ella Fitzgerald, amongst countless others, leave that entire list of women behind in the dust in terms of "talent."
Also, are the numbers given adjusted for inflation? I have trouble believing that, if adjusted, Sinatra or Crosby don't leave Eminem or the Bee Gees in the dust.

By the way, the men's list doesn't have a number 4.

We don't need this misogynistic crap here.
