Madonna - Material girl

Well at the peak of his career in the mid 80's Michael Jackson according to surveys at the time was the most famous celebrity in the world. But of course now I think Madonna is far more famous and popular. Like her or not she has stayed at the top of the charts for over 20 years now. I believe she is more popular than ever.

Definately; MJ is a pop icon, and whatever he releases will sell. As for the sex case, look no furhter than R. kelly. If he brought out two good albums after it, so can micheal

Lloyd Banks went platinum, with over 4 million sold world wide.\n\nYoung Buck also went platinum, selling 2 million world wide. Of course G-Unit no longer has a stranglehold on mainstream rap, so don't expect any of their future cds to be this popular, unless they are truly prolific.

I believe sales of the hard product are declining i don't believe its down to the rise in downloading because people have been doing that for years back when people used tapes in the millions its simply down to the record companies and the artists putting out a substandard product.\n\nImprove the music improve sales.\n\nI only buy cds of artists i REALLY like which is not that many so it'll be rare if i buy 4 albums a year and this coming from someone who used to get all the new releases without question.

Top seller: "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles\nMost recorded: "White Christmas" \nFor biggest hits I think you need to be looking at The Beatles, Mariah Carey, and Michael Jackson.  This is all off the top of my head and it may or may not be acurate.  It was acurate at one time, but I haven't worked in radio in some time.

They have sold a total of around 65 million records world wide, not counting bootlegs. They have released 13 or 14 albums, depending on whether you count EP's with limited release.
