How many million sellers did the beach boys have?

Answer 1

There are various answers to this question, including the usual, really stupid one that says TWO -- Good Vibrations which was awarded a RIAA gold disc in December 1966, and I Get Around which was awarded a RIAA gold disc in 1982, 18 years after it was released.

But Capitol had a policy of not awarding gold discs for singles, unless they were for The Beatles. In 1963 Surfin' USA was assessed as the no.1 selling single of the year by Billboard - and it didn't sell a million

Within weeks of release of Sloop John B in May 1966 it was greeted by the most authoritative observers at the 11th Beach Boy single to sell a million in the US. In March 1970 when they were about to tiur New Zeakland and Australia, they were advertised to have 30 million-selling singles, obviously a worldwide total. I would put the US total to date at 22, and world total at 32.
