Who are the top selling musical artists of all time?

Answer 1

1) Madonna: $110 million

2)Beyonce: $87 million

3) Bruce Springsteen: $70 million

4)Coldplay: $70 million

5)Kenny Chesney: $65 million

6)Dave Matthews Band: $65 million

7)Rascal Flatts: $60 million

8)AC/DC: $60 million

9)Toby Keith: $52 million

10)Bon Jovi: $50 million
According to Rolling Stone Magazine, the top ten richest musicians are:

1. U2
2. The Rolling Stones
3. The Eagles
4. Paul McCartney
5. Elton John
6. Neil Diamond
7. Jimmy Buffett
8. Beyonce Knowles
9. Celine Dion
10. Noxolo Qwabe

Answer 2

Well I don't have a complete list, that's for sure, but the top 5 would consist of, in order:

Paul McCartney: Anywhere over $1.5 billion

Elvis Presley (not including his estate): Over $1.5 billion

The Rolling Stones: +$1 billion

Celine Dion: +$800 million

Michael Jackson: $650 million

The top 3 I kinda expected but Celine? I were shocked. I think its because before 2003, she had earned around $550 million, then she began her Vegas gig, and that has earned her in excess of $300 million. Jackson is so low (considering his longevity in the business) because he has done very little in the last 8 years

The rest of the top 10 would consist of Madonna, Elton John, U2, Tina Turner and maybe David Bowie, or stars of similar longevity. Eminem would probably be the most recent artist to figure in the top 50 when considering the most recent debuts. He has grossed over $250 million, more than stars such as Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston

Answer 4

When in Las Vegas and after the Caesars Palace stint was successfully completed, it was quoted that Celine Dion is now the best selling female vocalist or recording artist of all time. During her time in POP music, it was quoted that she had now surpassed Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Shania Twain, and Mariah Carey in total recording music sales of all time. Where that puts in her in relation to male vocalist like Garth Brooks or Elvis Presley, I do not know.
