Metallica the Best Selling Music Artist of ALL TIME?
|
You do know that the Wikipedia is made up of user submitted (mis)information. The article is being deleted because of false data.
|
Yep. Isn't it the Beatles, and not to far behind them, Garth Brooks? Elvis being in third. Anyone know how to find the real data?
|
Hahaha...The Beatles only released 10 albums....Hahahahahhaah!
|
Damn, someone messed with the list!
No who was it?? |
|
While Metallica has sold a lot of records, there is no way they are the #1. I figured it was pretty much common knowledge that The Beatles were.
Of course, as someone said, that's the problem with Wikipedia. While a good resource, it can get skewered. |
They've sold more records than Nana Mouskouri? Wow!
|
I really don't know how anyone can accurately come up with *worldwide* album sales to be honest. Unless you're a record company and are willing to spend a lil' cash and time to do a lot of research.
|
I though Micheal Jackson was... Oh well I'm an idiot.

Looks like it was fixed now.

I have now lost all respect for Wikipedia as a reference for facts for the following two reasons:
1. Cliff 2. Richard |

:lol: Backstreet Boys have sold more records than Bob Dylan.
|
I'd read somewhere that Led Zeppelin were the worldwide champs with somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 million albums/cds.
