Okay, I may not make many posts, and may not challenge many facts, but when it comes to sales figures, I have the right info.

Garth Brooks is a major seller in the United States, and is in the top 5 of best selling musicians (groups/artists) of all time. I believe he is number three.

However, The Beatles are the unchallenged kings of recorded music sales, and will always be. They have sold over 1 BILLION records worldwide, and 140 million in the states alone.

They still sell about a million a year in the states, and sometimes more with compilations like "1", which sold approximately 9 million copies.

Led Zeppelin is #2, at 200 million copies total. (104.5 million in the states)

Garth Brooks is no louch though. His records still sell by the bucketloads.

Interestingly enough, Julio Iglesias is also around 200 million copies sold. Pretty good, eh.

Bon Jovi is doing well too. 100 million sold for 8 studio albums is rather good, don't you think?

By the way, I get my facts from the RIAA, the organization which officially monitors album sales. They are legit. Thanks for reading.
