It is estimated that both Artists have sold between 100 and 200 Million Records. Shirley Bassey's actual count is a little harder to approximate because she has held recording contracts with quite a few different companies, including major worldwide companies like Columbia, United Artists and now Universal/Decca, and also several minor labels. Wikipedia places Streisand on the list ranked higher with more sales, but when you look at the entire list of rankings which also includes other minor league artists who somehow are also high on the list, there is sufficient reason for some doubt regarding who and how the actual rankings are determined. With this said, both artists have been major players in the music industry for many, many decades.
