What Radio 2 said today.
The 2 compilers (who they named) searched hundreds of web sites to calculate an average of certified and estimated sales of albums and singles as well as digital downloads and videos since the early sixties.
I dont understand the rankings, I guess they are a song+album one but then again some of them dont make any sense
I need them to tell us how they came up with This list
Madonna, Rihanna, Mariah, Celine, Whitney, Taylor, Barbra, Gaga, Katy and Adele as the top 10 biggest selling females of all time? Seems accurate to me.
This isn't a list of the biggest selling acts in the world, though. At least 20% would be made up by Japanese artists alone. Oh and not every act on here is a legend

Dont you know? English is the only language that matters
In Truth these list are always like This, ignoring everything not in english

so basically they trolled ATRL as a legitimate source A+ accuracy
