One thing that is never considered with Elvis is that during his first run he was more popular than the Beatles because he dominated with a higher percentage of population that had eyes on him. The viewership may have been higher for the Beatles but they had the advantage of the baby boom. However in the first 5 years Elvis had 13#1 singles (starting 1956 where he hit #1 to 1960) compared to the Beatles 11 (starting 1962 to 1966). But the real catch is Elvis wasn't recording for two of those years in his prime because he was in the frickin' army! Kinda nice to rack up records in the same time spread that Elvis couldn't compete. Kinda like claiming victory over a dude that had to come to a complete stop for 2 years out of a 5 year race! After 1960 Elvis went into Hollywood and became a different performer he only only did 4 shows from 1958 (when he went into the army) all the way to 1969. Meanwhile the Beatles continued to tour in their peak. Ya think thst could change those stats just a bit???!!! Elvis had uncle sam drafting his ass ruining his career at a pivotal time in America. No wonder the 60's boomed. You had Little Richard becoming a Preacher. Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens killed. Chuck Berry going to prison. Jerry Lee Lewis destroyed fir marrying his 13 year old cousin (which yeah is screwed up). And yes the King robbed of his prime. Yes amazing that the Beatles had such a great 7 years...uh meanwhile most of them were done with all previous competition neutered. The Beach Boys were also managed by an abusive idiot.

@@beatlebrian4404 You are missing the point. Elvis didn't release new singles. Do you foolishly think he was doing studio work while he was serving his country? Elvis was showing that he wasn't getting special treatment hence him not recording. Also of note, I picked 1960 because it was the only year you could get a glimpse of him not being affected by hollywood. As for competition of the Beatles in the early years ..who was ever as consistent as the ones I mentioned? Roy Orbison is the only one left over from the 50's that comes to mind and even Elvis missed out on Only the Lonely because of new release from Army distractions and Roy deciding to recird the hit himself. He wanted Elvis to record it! The point about UK hits is redic. Elvis was during the birth of RnR and people were clamoring while Elvis essentially retired. Also the Beatles had presence in both countries. It is also foolish to not understand how Elvis fever was causing the rise of the movement in the UK. Elvis made the Beatles, but it wasn't the other way around. I am still laughing about you making some point over a few pre-recorded singles as opposed to a living breathing recording/touring career in two years such as the Beatles had without Elvis as competition because his prime was screwed! After 1964 so many things changed and a big part is Elvis retiring from non-soundtrack/non secular releasing for 3 years after being out for 2 years. Meanwhile in the middle of Beatlemania Crying in the Chapel hit #3 becuase Elvis fans were that desperate to get anything worth a crap from Elvis and that gospel song was also a left over track! The Beatles had no competition anywhere near Elvis and that is why Elvis chart success was firmly at #2 in the 60's despite being retired for the key years and being a movie star. Chartwise Elvis smashed all the others and that is a fact....and yet he never set foot outside the United States.

Think for a moment about Black Sabbath. If it hadn't been for all that stupid partying and such, they could've had more Album Sales! They were the proverbial "House afire", when they first started, but then, thinking that their fans would just blindly accept whatever tripe they put out, later on, they got the shock of their lives, when former fans refused to buy their records, and began leaving in droves! I was working with someone, years ago, that told me that Black Sabbath came to Roanoke, Virginia, to put on a concert, but that Ozzy was so drunk, he couldn't even sing! At least, not properly. His account was that Ozzy talked almost incessantly, throughout the entire concert, and that Ozzy couldn't even walk straight! The guy I worked with told me that, after that, he never went to another Black Sabbath concert again! He almost completely quit listening to Black Sabbath, after that!

Elvis has so many sales not counted because his extended plays didn't pass the $3 threshhold. These numbers are bunk. They don't take into account percentage of population/inflation. It is just stupid. Matter of fact Bing Crosby was more dominant then all of them. 40+ #1's and way more successful recordings in an extremely short time. Thats real, but people will believe in fairy tales. I will always be an Elvis man because unlike all the others, he was not a one trick pony. He had the voice, hit with R&B, Country, Rock, Easy Listening etc... Elvis got triple crowns multiple times, no other artist can claim that. Elvis wasn't just the King of Rock, he was the king of music because of the multiple success. The measure of greatness is not just setting records, but how long they stand. If Elvis had of been better managed there was no telling how far he would have gone. No single individual in entertainment reached that height, and even the Beatles have to share that fame. Most records are based on album sales because they are tracked better lately. Pitiful when you are measuring an artist who most popularity is based on singles! The R.I.A.A didn't come to start certifying until 2 years after Elvis explosion and the multi Platinum record was introduced until after Elvis career was over. The Beatles having a much more aggressive record company with record keeping sure helped. Whatever. At least I know the truth. Elvis voice and versatility and output was unmatched. ...and yes Elvis created art in so many other ways than putting words to music.

All this why he was doing Vegas shows that were often 4 shows a day (thats right at times he did over a hundred shows in a one month period). Taylor Swift is nowhere near as prolific and her charted sales in the entirety are way behind. Lets see if she ever tops an R&B chart. Lol How about her Gospel influence? Hey ya never know, but internationaly Elvis and the Beatles were much bigger. I give Talor props for having albums sustain popularity and her charted hits in America are impressive, but influence on percentage of population in her time...not even close. I could statistic beat her into submission, and that isn't even starting on Bing Crisby who was more prolific than all of them. Elvis had 600 plus recordings. Taylor has less than 200 hundred. Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra had close to a thousand in the same amount of time. People are just so unaware of how big they were for their time. Is Taylor Swift big...absolutely. but having a billion streams is not the same as selling millions of records in a time where there was far less disposable income (like Bing during the depression). Elvis hit 500 million in 2 years at a time when there was far less population. He had a nielson rating that was 42% of the television population. That level of domination will never be seen again. Taylor has to compete with Marvel to Viral tik tok toilet explosions to sex vids. Btw if we are going to count streams what about radio listens or jukebox hits? Lets go farther, what about sheet music sales when people couldn't afford albums? You think Taylor merchandising compares to Elvis in the long run? His dead corpse to this day still has more allure because that image is so engrained as a worldwide phenomenon. Btw as a side note....while she has popular songs, I never thought her voice was very strong. She might be a George Harrison at best, but she has nowhere near the pipes of McCartney, Bing, Frank, or the unstoppable Elvis. Taylor may in the end have more number 1 albums than the Beatles or more singles than Elvis in America, but world domination...yeah right. Ok so she beats an American top 40 track record with what...200, 000 records sold? Elvis was selling 500,000 units and beyond in a much shorter time. The facts are that her worldwide impact is not as large. She will never have 10 of the top 10 spots at one time. She might get a blip here and there, but in the grand scheme she will never be the pioneer like that. They all bow to Elvis and that is why he will always be the King.

Uh no, that isn't true at all. If anything, they actually disqualified based on pricing parameters $2.98. Also keep in mind that there wasn't even a Platinum Award until 1976 or multi-platinum until 1984. Hence Bing Crosby only having 3 certified alums or singles. I wish people would stop spreading misinformation. They promoted as they always did...total "Recording" sales. The same as they do now. They include everything....well not exactly the same, because now they include streaming and disqualify radio airplay (since the 90's). Sinatra, Elvis etc... have high numbers because they sold the units. Of course those two and so many more were screwed out of certifications because of the RIAA not even being a true thing until most of them were dead or so far past prime that it didn't matter.

​@@MartinSmith156 The fact is that there are no real exact figures for a single artist or musician. This is because 1. some artists and record companies play with the numbers and 2. the sales system for music sales is very complicated and has changed often. When Elvis Presley died in 1977, it was reported that Elvis had sold 500-600 million albums by the time of his death. In 1996, Elvis Presley told then-record label RCA/Sony that Elvis Presley had sold over 1.6 billion albums by 1996. The fact is that the record industry said in 1978 that Elvis Presley sold 200 million albums in the first 12 months after his death (August 1977 to August 1978). This number is pretty sure that at that time Elvis' record company rented 90% of all the pressing plants (I think worldwide) in order to secure the gigantic demand for Elvis records. this was confirmed by the bosses of the pressing plants in 1978.

@@parmismj I'm a fan of the Beatles and MJ, and tough MJ is bigger than Beatles, Beatles are better and more revolutionary.

I was thinking about the last one can it be NSYNC*

People who are saying it’s wrong are counting different statistics or counting unofficial sales. Which would still mean the Beatles hold #1.

The Beatles Estimated sales: 500-600 million. Available certified sales: 271.1 million

Bing Crosby is said to have sold over a billion records.

What are some English bans under the English flag and some under the Union Jack

Of course the numbers are not fairly counted. Back in the early 1960's our family didn't own a record players. Today it seems like everyone has something to play music on. There were no MP3's, cassettes, 8-tracks at that time. Also, the U.S. population in 1964 was ~ 191 million, today it's ~ 336 million. Those numbers posted here are skewed quite a bit.

where did you get the numbers? Oasis have sold more than 80 million. and where are the Pet Shop Boys (over 100 million)? the list is incorrect.

Iron Maiden has sold more copies of their music, than that! According to Wapedia, they've sold over 100,000,000+ copies of their music...and had very little help from either Radio or TV! Also: You missed KISS! They've sold at least 75,000,000 copies of their music, too! They may even be past the 100,000,000+ mark, in terms of Album Sales!

Concerning physical albums, Maiden is also by far the best-selling foreign musical act ever in Finland, ahead of Madonna, Abba and AC/DC (but Queen’s Greatest Hits II and Abba Gold are the most successful non-Finnish albums over there).

Remembering that these are pure sales, digital sales are not included. This means that most artists are well above the number positioned. For example: Mariah Carey has already sold over 250 Millions of albums worldwide - in the USA alone, 150 albums and singles were certified. In Japan, more than 20 million and so on.

Yes, only the pure physical album sales for Mariah Carey in Japan are 18,5 million, making her number two behind The Beatles in terms of foreign musical acts. She’s clearly ahead of Michael Jackson, Queen, Madonna and Eric Clapton (9-10 million). Deep Purple, Simon & Garfunkel and Abba also belong to the top. As far as I know, in addition to Mariah and Madonna, only seven non-Japanese female solo artists have sold over a million physical copies of particular albums in Japan (all in all, five Americans, two Canadians, one Irish and one Swedish girl): Whitney Houston, Enya, Avril Lavigne, Céline Dion, Lauryn Hill, Lady Gaga and Meja.

No Duran Duran? They had over 100 mil records.

So did the Dave Clark Five, with 17 consecutive top 40 hits in a row. They're not even listed. I looked up Stevie Wonder and this site had him around 63 million sales while on line it listed just over 100 million sales.

Madonna..💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

I can’t think of one Beatles song they must have been famous a very long time ago. I’m not surprised that Michael is the best solo artist. He was so talented. Also where was Taylor Swift on this list?

The Beatles had like 20 hits every year so only a few really stuck.

The crazy things is mj has only 6 albums and top of list

Michael Jackson is in the list as a bandmember of the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson as a solo artist wich makes it like 400 million dollars.
