jovi record sales
anyone anal enough to know how many records jovi have sold in their career. im aware that this 120 million figure has been knocking around for a couple years or so now but anyone know exactly what it is now?
after doing a lot of research over the past year or so i have settled my mind in thinking that they are about the 8th or 9th biggest selling rock band ever and the 2nd biggest in america, just in front of metallica/eagles and behind aerosmith who have apparently sold 150 million w/wid. Although like u2 who have sold 140 million w/wide they count singles.
how much of a difference would that really have made though to worldwide sales?
might sound silly i just find it interesting to see where our band stands so that when you get slagged off for supporting them you have some ammo, haha!
incase anyone is questioning this i have decided this must be the order for the list:
1. Beatles - approx 1 bill
2. Led zepp - approx 300 mill
3. Queen - approx 300 mill
4. Stones - approx 220 mill
5. acdc - approx 200 mill
6. Pink Floyd - approx 200 mill
7. Aerosmith - approx 150 mill
8. U2 - approx 140 mill
9. Jovi - approx 120 mill????
all of the above have been around decades longer giving them time to gather sales and even aerosmith and u2 have a good few years on them!
