Revision as of 18:00, 31 August 2013
The list of best-selling music artists includes artists with claims of 75 million or more record sales in multiple third-party reliable sources. The claimed sales figures and the total certified sales figures (for each country) within the provided sources include sales of albums, singles, compilation-albums, music videos as well as downloads of singles and full-length albums. The artists in the following tables are listed with both their claimed and certified sales figures and are ranked in descending order, with the highest claimed sales at the top. Artists with the same claimed sales are then ranked by certified units. Sales figures, such as those from Soundscan, which are sometimes published by Billboard magazine, have not been included in the certified units column. Currently, The Beatles are listed at the top of the list as they are considered the highest-selling band based both on sales claims and certified units. Elvis Presley, who is listed the second on the list is considered the highest-selling individual artist based both on sales claims and certified units.
All artists included on this list, which have begun charting on official albums/singles charts have their available claimed figure(s) supported by at least 20% in certified units. That is why Cliff Richard, Diana Ross, Modern Talking, Charles Aznavour, Bing Crosby, Nana Mouskouri, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Tom Jones, The Jackson 5, Dionne Warwick, The Andrews Sisters, Luciano Pavarotti and others have not been included on this list. The percentage amount of certified sales needed increases the newer the artist is, meaning, artists such as Taylor Swift and Rihanna are expected to have their claimed figures supported by over 60% in certified units. The certified units are sourced from available online databases of local music industry associations. Note that all certified units are converted from Gold/Platinum/Diamond certification awards based on criteria provided by certifying bodies.
The requirements of certified sales are designed to avoid inflated sales figures, which are frequently practiced by record companies for promotional purposes.[1][2]
The claimed figures are sourced to articles that use the term records (singles, albums, videos) and not albums. However, if all available sources for an artist/band say albums, such sources can only be used if the certified album units of the said artist meet the required percentage amount. Note that this list uses claimed figures that are closer to artists' available certified sales. In other words, inflated claimed figures that will meet the required certified sales amount but are unrealistically high from available certified sales, will not be used.

Notes
Notes^
Certification systems have been established periodically throughout the past half century, thus certification-databases are not able to cover all sales. Some (or all) records released and sold prior to the certification system's establishment year may not be found within the available searchable certification databases. Year of establishment (from largest market to smallest based on Retail Value each market generates respectively):[3][4]
- Japan:1989:[302] (online Gold/Platinum certification-database covers certifications issued since 1994.[7] Million-seller database covers records releases since 1989[74])
- United Kingdom: 1973[9]
- Australia: 1997[14] (online certification-database has begun since 1997. Certifications; however, existed in Australia since the 1970s)
- Italy: 2010[42] (online certification-database covers certifications issued since 2010. Certifications; however, have existed in Italy since 1990s)
- Netherlands: 1978[306]
- Switzerland: 1989[307]
- New Zealand: 1999[26]
Certified sales might sometimes be larger than actual sales if stores order more albums than they are able to sell, due to certifications generally being determined by shipments, not actual sales. Often; however, actual sales are larger than certified sales as Record labels must pay a fee to obtain certifications. Record Companies most of the time apply for certifications when a record reaches a multiple certification-levels, meaning certifications might not be visible in the databases for more than a short period of time after an album reached a certification level.[311][312] Due to music piracy begun in 1999–2000, global music sales declined, which consequently opted certification-bodies to reduce their certification levels.[313] See the changes in Certification-award-levels in the following markets:
- USA[314] (Note, U.S. certification-award-levels for singles before 1989 were: Gold=1,000,000 and Platinum=2,000,000.[315] Also, U.S. certification-awards for Shortform albums before September 1996 were: Gold=250,000 and Platinum=500,000[316])
- Canada[323] (Canadian certification-award-levels for singles before February 1982 were: Gold=75,000 and Platinum=150,000[324])
According to a report in 2009 by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, an estimated 95% of music downloads are done illegally.[341] Illegal downloads are not included in the certifications and figures of artists' sales. The tables are to include two sources only for each claimed figure.
Note 2^ Michael Jackson's sales: According to the Wall Street Journal and diverse news sites, the 750 million units sold by Michael Jackson is an inflated figure that was initially claimed by Raymone Bain (2006),[342][343] who was the singer's publicist at that time, without any factual evidence and probably in an effort to promote album sales.[344][345][346] From 2006 until present time, several sources such as MTV, Reuters or Billboard have claimed that Michael Jackson has sold 750 million units,[347][348][349] however, Adrian Strain, a representative from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) has said that this figure is unreal.[345]
