Its actually harder to get Album sales these days becuse 1,500 song streams count for just one album sale.

Imagine if Elvis, in his day, had music platforms like these guys do.


Drake has 200M single plays....

Elvis sold 131M ALBUMS.

Not sure if OP or anyone younger totally grasps that comparison.

I actually like Drake. Well, partly, I was a fan of his music back when he came out up until about 2013.

That being said,i find this statistic very hard to believe. I know he's successful, but people dont even buy albums anymore. So i dont see how this is possible.

The end of the world as we knew it, it’s about time for the population numbers to drop.

Proud to say I wouldn't be able to point him out in a lineup.

Garth Brooks isn't even that list. He has 148 million albums sales.

Streams < Album sales, kiddos.

If we're counting streaming singles then Psy should be up there since Gangam Style has about 2 billion views on youtube.

Elvis, McGraw and MJ are the only pre-net acts, so whatever metric is being used clearly tilts toward current acts

where is Garth Brooks?

Drake is a bitch. He’s nowhere near the top or best musical artist in the history of music.

And?

Are you insinuating that Elvis Presley wouldn’t have those type of numbers?
