MJ not even Top 3 males 

Single sales in the 80s and 90s are trash. 

 

The majority of his sales come from albums.

 

Update. I added 2 Chainz and Ozzy Osbourne in this update; while Travis Scott moves 1 spot above Justin Timberlake right now.

Also, Ed Sheeran is a non-mover.

Usher and Timberlake being so low...wow

Plus Michael's stats come from predominantly just his 6 studio albums released after he left Motown as kid (69M certified albums between them), which shows how insanely massive his peak was with so few releases.

Update. Drake, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, Luke Bryan, Future all remains stable after their updated certs.

Look at my faves, and they are still producing can only go up.  

Ed Sheeran moves one spot above The Weeknd and is now #15.

Meanwhile, Luke Bryan and Wiz Khalifa remain stable.

Post Malone strikes - thanks to his recent certifications update he moves 14 spots right inside Top 20 - he is now #19. The Weeknd moves one spot above Ed Sheeran, while Ty Dolla $ign returns to Top 40 and kicks out Pitbull. Wiz Khalifa loses one spot although he got updated album cert.

 

Also, Drake, Kanye West, Bruno Mars, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and Snoop Dogg remain stable.

Certifications were update in the last two weeks twice and I didn't have time to update the OP the first time, so I update it now. During those two updates, Travis Scott jumped two spots straight to Top 30, while Calvin Harris moved to #34.

Drake  I guess he's the most certified artist ever in the US.

 

Btw, does a thread like this one exist for groups/bands ? I noticed that there's also one for female artists but couldn't find one for groups.
