RIAA USA SALES FIGURES
Recording Industry Association of America just released a bunch of new numbers. This is their list of TOTAL album sale IN THE U.S.A..
Interesting list.
Here's some of the things I found interesting about it...
Billy Joel Is 6th, WOW I NEVER would have thought he had sold that many albums!
AC/DC and Aerosmith both have out sold the Stones.
VanHalen has put out next to nothing for a while and still beat U2
You'd have to add BOTH J-Lo and Christina Aguilera together to beat Britney
Loverboy and the Spice Girls are tided (Is this sad or funny?)
Jimmy Buffett has out sold 3/4 of the list
For all the money Gene Simmons talks about having KISS is only about half way down the list (Yes, jimmy Buffet out sold KISS)
Snoop Dog, Will Smith and Lenny Kravitz maybe median darlings, but they really done move that many albums
Toby Kieth has out sold the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Black Sabbath?
Paul McCartney's placing about 3/4 of the way down REALL surprised me
Take a look it's pretty interesting if you have a little time...
