Who is the Top Selling Recording Artist Of ALL TIME? I already know the answer. But you prolly won't find it in google [who are really, hehe, GIGO....].
It's Elvis Presley, I'd guess. He (in spite of being long dead) earned a heck-big load of $$$ last year.
I don't know why this is [actually, I do know why this is, but I can't say it]. It ain't elvis. And you won't find the answer in google or anything as parochial as that yankee effort at collation of ALL [yankee] mankind's knowlege. Hint: Don't think for one second it is a Yankee - or ANYONE even faintly resembling a yankee. Also Hint #2: In many parts of the world, the RIAA cabal is irrelevant and bootleg music sales are HUGE. So you ain't agonna get stats collated by a cabal of California [deleted] to mean bugger all: thier influence and power only extends as far as their reach [USA and it's economic/cultural sphere]. Hint #3 There are billions of people on this planet and the majority have niether heard of nor care about some guy from Tupelo who had a nose job when he was a whee boy [mommy loved her little treasure - her little treasure did not love his own nose] and never wrote a song in his life. Hint #4 The artist and band performed at The Most Famous Music Festival To Ever Happen [in the google-centric, parochial, white-people's world]. I am gonna send the answer to reuben by PM. LOL
It's Sly and the Family stone - They played at woodstock! I've got all his albums, my ex girlfriends mom gave Sly a hummer when he was in Toronto at the Diamond club back in the eighties.
I would no sooner update that than I would be a contributing editor to one of those rags at the checkstand. GIGO
