MJ has passed Elvis as top selling solo artist of all time (including streaming)

[semicko82]

Strange fun fact. The house Michael Jackson died in was next door to the LA home Elvis once owned.

That’s eerie, not more eerie than fukking his daughter though

 

[Cadillac]

No, he's been behind elvis and the beatles forever...his popularity is soaring among newer generations, he'll surpass the beatles in about a decade

@Coronavirus you see this?
Beyonce could never

the day he passes the beatles.

He passed them right after he died. He wasn't that far behind before he died. The reason that the Beatles keep selling is because the keep putting out the same albums: anthologies, collectors editions, anniversary editions..etc. MJ beat the Beatles and Elvis with far less music. Elvis singles are were counted as whole units, whereas during MJs time, singles were only counted as singles. Elvis is the biggest seller of Music, which most would assume means "sold the most albums," but it actually means that he has released the most music. MJ and The Beatles are the top 2, with MJ slightly beating out the Beatles.

i see you said this on the first page. what you basing it on?

[YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy]

You ignored Prince, Mariah, and Whitney when they are all much higher than Rihanna and Beyoncé.

I'm basing it on His Solo numbers, and Jackson 5 numbers. As far as top selling albums, Elvis has no album in top 30 best selling albums of all time. The Beatles has 1 album that ranks, and MJ has 3 albums in the top 30.

At least Michael was honest and gave him a heads up

 

[Dave24]

Michael's music is timeless. Elvis' music is reserved for novelty nights.

What are novelty nights?
