Nirvana has surpassed 50 million albums sold
It's "The Man Who Sold The World" by David Bowie.
nirvana has sold 25 million albums in 4 years .the would have sold way more than that if Kurt cobain was alive
Around 75 million is the estimated number that they sold.
Probably Nirvana; they're much more talented and more admired anyway.
Nirvana has surpassed 80 million albums sold as of this writing in 2013; Pearl Jam has only just surpassed 60 million.
Metallica. I think that the black album alone is almost as many as all nirvana CD's.
