Despite the economic downturn and the flagging music industry people are still buying singles and entire albums, but who could have guessed these amazing record selling statistics?
Creed has sold more records in the US than Jimi Hendrix
Led Zeppelin, REM, and Depeche Mode have never had a number one single, Rihanna has 10
Ke$ha's “Tik-Tok” sold more copies than ANY Beatles single
Flo Rida's “Low” has sold 8 million copies – the same as The Beatles' “Hey Jude”
The Black Eyed Peas' “I Gotta Feeling” is more popular than any Elvis or Simon & Garfunkel song
Celine Dion's “Falling Into You” sold more copies than any Queen, Nirvana, or Bruce Springsteen record
Same with Shania Twain's “Come On Over”
Katy Perry holds the same record as Michael Jackson for most number one singles from an album
Barbara Streisand has sold more records (140 million) than Pearl Jam, Johnny Cash, and Tom Petty combined
People actually bought Billy Ray Cyrus' album “Some Gave All…” 20 million people. More than any Bob Marley album
The cast of “Glee” has had more songs chart than the Beatles

Guess shite out weighs talent!
Which means if you talk about future, Rihana, Ka$a and others will be forgotten... Beatles, REM and Others Not.
If you want to make a fairer "sales" comparison, you would need to compare the number of people that have illegally downloaded a song (a stat that will never be known) against the number of people that 'illegally' taped a song from the radio or ripped it from a CD or pre-recorded tape (a stat that will never be known).
To compare the popularity of Katy Perry to Jacko is absurd. When Jacko released a new song/video, it was an EVENT.
This whole list is fucked.
Justin Bieber is a GOD. I jerk off to his picture every day.
