Hector Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Taken from an MTV show broadcast yesterday. Combined singles/tracks sales and streams since 1/1/00. Looks up to date to sometime in April 2021. Some (but not all) appearances as a featured artist have been overlooked. Those artists affected to a significant degree (i.e. more than 1 million sales) I have marked with an asterisk. 1. Ed Sheeran :: 62.76m 2. Calvin Harris* :: 26.21m 3. Coldplay :: 25.94m 4. Little Mix :: 22.35m 5. Arctic Monkeys :: 21.37m 6. Adele :: 20.95m 7. Sam Smith* :: 20.30m 8. Dua Lipa :: 19.54m 9. Oasis :: 19.25m 10. Queen :: 18.84m 11. One Direction :: 18.51m 12. The Beatles :: 15.97m 13. George Ezra :: 15.07m 14. Jess Glynne* :: 14.97m 15. Lewis Capaldi :: 13.83m 16. Stormzy* :: 13.45m 17. Fleetwood Mac :: 13.13m 18. Ellie Goulding* :: 12.99m 19. The 1975 :: 12.05m 20. Olly Murs :: 10.65m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfonso12 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Wow at Little Mix. I knew they were big in the UK but didn't think it was THAT big. Dua being there with 2 albums only is really impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
