Wikipedia is absoutely useless for factual information. Hell, why not just put their sales at 750 million so they can be the same as Michael Jackson?
Which brings me to another point - How the hell did Michael Jackson sell 750 million albums? Wiki (This sounds real relibale) lists Thriller's Sales anywhere between 47-109 million. How the hell can it be that much of a discrepency?
Bad has sold 30 million.
Dangerous sold 32 million.
History sold 20 million (but because it's a double record, I'm sure they count it as 40).
Invincible sold 10 million.
Off The Wall has sold 20 million.
So, even if we go on the high side of Thriller and 40 million for History, that's still just 241 million. That's amazing indeed, but a far cry from 750 million.
My assumption is, they're counting Jackson 5 and singles. If that's the case, then any band post 80's, will never have the chance to get remotely close to those numbers.
