Hey All,
On australian idol tonight they said onky Elvis, Beatles and some one else has sold more albums than the Bee Gee's. I am certain Queen have sold more. I think Queen our in the 200 mil stage were the Bee Gee's are 150-200mil. Can any one add anything to this?

i know the biggest selling soundtrack of all time is saturday night fever which was The Bee Gees album so that may edge it toward them? i really don't know the exact figures.
It is Queen, selling more along with Elvis and The Beatles in the U.K.
Quuen are great.
Queen have sold more albums in the UK than any other act in history. But around the world I would have thought any 1 of 4 acts may have outsold Queen. Elvis, The Beatles, The Stones or The Bee Gees.
Quuen Rokcs!

What makes me laugh is that Queen actually have a better chart history than the Beatles, yet the Beatles have sold more.. Obviosuly due to the decade they had over them and i mean, hello!!!!, its the beatles, but Queen have had more chart time than any other band.

Also, the Beatles were media-whores. Actually, I think they invented media-whoredom. If not, they were the best at it, even by today's standards.

O.K, fair enough, but Deep Purple over 100.000.000?
The Beatles and EMI claim that the band has sold over 1.000.000.000 (1 billion), not counting the pirated copyes in Asia!!
But what´s interesting in Led Zeppelin and Elvis and Beatles, is that each one of them has sold over 100.000.000 in the USA alone.
In Queen´s case, it´s a pitty that America didn´t have more interest in them, otherwise they could add an extra 70.000.000 CD´s to their statistics (not counting the singles here!)
Take care
