hello all
hard question here ...
do we know who are the top 10 record sellers in the history of the music business
Thu Nov 17, 2005 1:06 am
Probably Virgin, HMV, WH Smith, Walmart, Amazon, the usual suspects.

tcb4 -
Record companies are notoriously shy about revealing true sales figures !
In the UK, there was a tv programme a short while back which supposedly tallied the sales of singles here.
Elvis came third !
But the source of the figures was suspect.
BMG said nobody had asked them for any sales figures, so where the programme makers got theirs is unknown !
Worldwide, Elvis has to be up there at the top, along with The Beatles.
The rest of the top 10 is open to speculation !

According to late night infomercials that pan-flute guy should be right up there too.... Zamfir?

You guys don't watch late night tv? And what about that piano player dude - Richard Clayderman? I wonder if he's ever done a duet album with the master of the pan-flute.....

I read in different sources that he sold more than 110 millions records!
He is really good even I don“t listen to it.

r clayderman plays nice melodies & is a humble pianist, he don t give that much interviews!
As for classical music, i would be curious to know the sales figures of Mozart for example ?
