i was looking up what the most successful bands in the world are, etc, and i found out that apparantly the biggest-selling genre is rap and the biggest-selling artist is a country-and-western singer called garth brooks. he has sold more records than the beatles and on average he sells 1 record every 4 seconds. bon jovi sell on average 1 record very 6 seconds, so thats close! linkin park also sell 1 record every 6 seconds too (pretty good considering theyve only been around for about 2 years).
