amazing thread.

[BnPac]

Madonna has 17 M singles sold for 19 M albums sold. That's hella impressive!! Isn't she the only one on the list who sold more albums than singles?

Good for Bey too. ~3M albums sold for ~5 M singles sold.

Edit : Just realized that it's the case for most artists who started before the digital era. Still impressive though.

There are some dodgy figures in this. One of Us and Money Money Money are too low - it looks like xmas sales have been excluded. SOS seems low. Others to high, I can't see how AngelEyes/VV sold 100K more than Does Your Mother Know. Top 3 and The Name of the Game a bit high too, IMO.
