The new 2016 Edition of the Guinness Book of World Records lists Madonna as the best selling female recording artist of all time.

"Madonna (USA, b. Madonna Ciccone) has sold more than 300 million albums in her career since debuting with her self-titled release in 1983."

They also include Beyoncé in the new book:

She's THE only female in the top 5

Those reliable Wikipedia receipts
I'm believing the 520M records claim now

Madonna has not sold 520 million records, nor 300 million albums or the 220 million singles it would take to bridge that gap.

As the compiler of her not current but previous receipts thread here, I can assure you she's sold no more than 335m or so records.

The page you provided lists 300 million records as the highest credible or reliable claim.

People (and Guinness, more than once) have consistently inflated the sales of acts like Madonna, MJ, Elvis, and The Beatles.

So give us a proof that she has not? You seem so passionate about discrediting her so at least give us a breakdown of all her sales albums, singles, greatest hits, live albums

Her first greatest hits alone sold 30 million....

Would Guiness lie? Queen of 300M albums sold!

And it was her only album to reach that threshold. Then True Blue hit around 23-25 million. And Like a Virgin hit about 21 million.

These figures, compiled by myself and updated by Rolland, are readily accessible here. Her total albums sales are approximately 201 million, and her singles (as of the last available updates) are at no more than 134 million.
