Black Dog - 03.09.2006, 11:37List of best-selling music artists - worldwide
Diese Liste sollte man etwas mit Vorsicht geniessen...da sich die exakten Zahlen nicht ermitteln lassen.
Desweiteren sind hier Singles und Alben zusammengefasst...und auch die vielen 'Best Ofs' (da haben z.B. Zep in beiden Sachen eher schlechte Karten) ;-)
Aber einen ungefähren Eindruck bekommt man...und manchmal ist man überrascht (z.B. über Nana Mouskouri) ;-)
Oder über Jimi Hendrix :-(
Aber interessant und lesenswert ist es auf jeden Fall, finde ich...wenn auch nicht sehr aussagekräftig ;-)
This is a non-definitive list of best selling recording artists, embracing worldwide single and album sales.
