In terms of record sales, The Beatles.
I Would Assume That Elvis Was Named After His Father Vernon, Whose Middle Name Was Elvis.
Elvis Presley

Depending on whose figures you believe, the individual/group who has sold the most albums overall is either Elvis Presley or The Beatles. In terms of known, verified sales, the Beatles lead by about 5 to 4.The highest-selling SINGLE album is Michael Jackson's Thriller. In terms of overall verified sales, he's at about 3 compared to that 5:4 ratio mentioned above, slightly behind Madonna (also about 3).

With The Beatles As well as the single, I Want To Hold Your Hand, whose B side was This Boy
Elvis Presley
It's actually Whitney Houston. Elvis and The Beatles had 6, Whitney is the first and only artist to have 7. The Beatles have more total number one hits, 18 to be exact. But not consecutive. Whitney also has a total of 11 number ones.
The Beatles, by far. from sadie
The Beatles
The "flying Elvis"
It is sometimes claimed that a given artist "sold more records" or "had more hit songs" than The Beatles, but this tends to be hype, based on the number of records released, versus the number of copies sold, or is based on charts other than the Billboard Hot 100 pop music chart.It must also be remembered that the Beatles' achievements were nearly all made in just seven years, from their first chart-topper to their last new release as a group. Artists of greater longevity may well release more chart hits, over a longer career. (The ratio of releases to hits could also be taken into consideration, in making comparisons to the Beatles.)Several individual albums, such as The Eagles' Greatest Hits 1971-1975, Michael Jackson's Thriller, or Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, have outsold any Beatles album (whose average sales are 10 million copies each), and individual singles likewise, but the Beatles remain the all-time champions for total record sales.The Beatles have sold more than 1.3 billion and Elvis just over 1 billion the nest would be Michael Jackson between 350 million and 750 million it depends on whose figures you like. The Beatles material was recorded over 8 years, Elvis 23 years and MJ 30 years so you figure who the best is.
