Without delving into research I venture 1 guess anyway. I'd say ABBA is one.

I did the research and according to my sources, the most selling artists worldwide are

ABBA 370 million

AC/DC 200 million


Alla Purgacheva 250 million (Russian pop)

A.R. Rahman 200 million (film score/world beat)

Aerosmith 150 million

Yes cabro, #1 is 'Beat It' and cabro and bear got #3 with the answer "Wicked Lester".

#2 is still open though as "Paranoid" is incorrect.

Ric

Ric, could you check that? I think "Paranoid" at quadruple platinum, IS Black Sabbath's best selling album of all time.

Bill
You may be correct with this, my source said "Heaven & Hell" out sold "Paranoid". However, other sources list "Paranoid"
