Con estos resultados, por el momento Michael ha vendido 84.360.958 singles durante su carrera contando We Are The World, y 75.110.958 singles si no contamos con We Are The World.

Y algunas rectificaciones con respecto a esta lista que hace el mismo usuario que puso esta lista:

I Want You Back sold 2.060.711 copies in the US, so my numbers are OK.

ABC sold 2.214.790 copies in US. In this case, I don't know if it's eligible for a 2x platinum certification or 3x Platinum.

The Love You Save sold 1.948.761 in US, about 2 M.

Now, Maybe Tomorrow sold 830.794 copies in US, so it's eligible for a 1x Platinum certification( 1.000.000), not Gold( 500.000).

Got To Be There sold 1.583.850 copies in the US (2x Platinum) and Ben 1.701.475 (2x Platinum).

Little Bitty Pretty One did 590.629 (about 600.000).

Looking Through The Window did 581.426 (about 600.000).

Dancing Machine 2.170.327 in US (2x Platinum).


Asi que en lo que respecta a singles, Michael ha vendido en su carrera en solitario (incluyendo la Motown Era) alrededor de 85 millones

In view of these figures, we observe that MJ has had record-breaking albums in every major music markets while Elvis has none.




Conclusión que extraigo: No se quien será el más vendedor, pero creo que hay un podio bien definido entre MJ, Elvis y The Beatles

p.d: Este post le encantará a Orbitt

 

[kingofpop]

:cuñao he leido los dos primeros post y los otros dos los dejo para mañana y ya te comentare:feo: cuantas letras!
bueno, yo creo que hay mucha competencia entre MJ ,elvis y the beatles... aunk siempre e pensado que quien mas habia vendido en general era MJ...:z:

 

[mana_fox]

Sigo pensando que nadie ha vendido mas que Michael! Y con todo ese cacao de numeros he llegado ha una conclusion.... que Elvis no ha vendido tantos singles, a si que no se de donde sacan los 1000 millones (contando singles y albumes)

P.D.: MJ en venta de albumes dobla y casi triplica ha Elvis, no va de broma, lo que pasa que Elvis vendio muchisimos singles. Si no buscar el album mas vendido de Elvis.. que no se cuanto vendio

 

[Cherish]

buuuuuuuuuf, cuanto numerito :mareao:

 

[Galaxy]

yo pienso lo mismo q kingofpop , creia q michael habia vendido mas q cualkier otra persona o grupo en todo el mundo , pero segun estas cifras los hay quien le superan !!!

 

[mana_fox]

Si mirais bien las cifras, son estos los resultados.

Albums:
- Michael Jackson
- The Beatles
- Elvis

Repito que nadie ha vendido mas que Michael Jackson!!!

Singles:
- Elvis
- Michael Jackson
- The Beatles
