Which recording artist is the top selling artist of all time? (1 Viewer)

[Reginald Trent]

I'd guess it would be Elvis or the Beatles, but I could be wrong. Also does anyone know the number of records sold by the top artist?

BTW this is about total sales not the biggest selling single or album/CD of all time.

 

[Tom Ryan]

It's The Beatles currently, though I've heard Elvis just passed 100 million records so he may now be #2 (whereas Led Zeppelin was in that spot before).

 

[Jack Briggs]

The Beatles retain the number one position with 160 million units sold.

 

[Patrick McCart]

This is hardly a poll, is it not?

 

[Lew Crippen]

The Beatles retain the number one position with 160 million units sold.

Not to dispute the figures but I be hard pressed to consider them an artist.
