Posted September 17, 200618 yr Well i'd love to know myself. Obviously Elvis is the best selling male ever but i've read that Jacko has sold more album then him ^_^ It is hard to know what MJ's album sales are cause he has only releaseda small number of albums with Epic records if you look at all the albums he released with other record companies such as Mowtown ^_^ Epic sales as far as i've read in various books look a bit like this. ^_^ Off the wall - 20 million Thriller - 60 million (between 40 - 60 anyway) Bad - 30 million Dangerious - 25 - 30 million History - 18 milllion Bloody on the dancfloor remix - 4 milllion Invincible - 10 million #1's - 8 million Ultimimate collection - not sure but i don't think it sold hugly. :unsure: But all his other album sales seem to be a mystery :unsure: Does anyone know :unsure: I'm guessing he has sold about 200 million albums when you add in possible sales of his other albums :wacko:
September 17, 200618 yr Author I found this on Wikipedia Michael Jackson Michael Jackson is an American R&B, pop and rock artist whose recording career has spanned from 1963 to the present. In 1982, Jackson recorded the best-selling album of all-time Thriller, with claimed worldwide sales of over 51 million [2] Michael Jackson has been awarded numerous honors, including the World Music Award's Best-selling pop male artist of the Millennium. [3][4]. While their databases have hardly any information from the 1950s or 1960s, or sales of uncertified releases, Jackson's totals are not affected as all his solo records were released after 1971 (despite this, the WMA later reverted, claiming The Beatles had outsold Jackson). Michael Jackson's record company Sony BMG has never given an accumulative sales figure for Michael Jackson. However, it has given worldwide sales claims for each of his albums [5]. Motown has also released the worldwide sales claims of each album and single Michael Jackson released through its label [6]. It has been estimated by various fan sites, by adding the figures provided by these companies, that Michael Jackson's accumulative worldwide sales is about 300 million. From 1963 to 1984, Michael Jackson was also a member of The Jackson 5 (later called "The Jacksons"). Their accumulative worldwide sales are reported to be approximately 150 million. Sometimes their sales total is added to Michael Jackson's solo sales total because he was their lead singer from 1968 to 1984 and chief songwriter from 1978 to 1984.
September 17, 200618 yr Author I just found an amzing MJ sales info site :D http://mjinf.co.uk/index.html Only Epic sales though but it is so interesting. :D

October 16, 200618 yr Author Read here http://www.ukmix.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=33175 He HAS sold more albums than Elvis :smoke: Elvis released mostly records back in his day :D
October 17, 200618 yr Author I love michael jackson but i cant believe he sold more than Elvis Yes he has. As far as album sales he is the best selling artist. Elvis has only sold 135 million albums in the USA :) Albums and singles Elvis is the best selling ever but anyone that suggests hes sold a billion records is insane :lol:
October 18, 200618 yr I never thought he sol 1 billion but I always thought Elvis had sold more. Ow well that brilliant for Michael then
October 18, 200618 yr Author Yes as far as single & albums Elvis has sold alot more but album sales MJ as sold more as proven on that UKMIX site :D
October 18, 200618 yr Yes he has. As far as album sales he is the best selling artist. Elvis has only sold 135 million albums in the USA :) Albums and singles Elvis is the best selling ever but anyone that suggests hes sold a billion records is insane :lol: No hi has not. Only 135 million in the US, how do you now. Do you work at the record company? UK mix doesn’t prove anything. In the US Elvis 118.5 million Michael 60.5 million certified units. In the world Michael is trailing.
October 18, 200618 yr Author No hi has not. Only 135 million in the US, how do you now. Do you work at the record company? UK mix doesn’t prove anything. In the US Elvis 118.5 million Michael 60.5 million certified units. In the world Michael is trailing. Read the thread on UKMIX, they have proven that Elvis's sales are as follows in the US. ^_^ Elvis albums sales in USA : Studio albums : 21-22.5m Christmas albums : 18m Gospel albums : 14-15m Live albums : 15m Compilation albums : 65m Comprehensive total of 135 millions albums sold. I am going by their finding which look very reliable to me. Elvis is #2 best selling in the US behind the Beatles and Jacko is #2 behind the Beatles outside the US according to certs, and official figures -_-
October 18, 200618 yr Author Here is some info about Jacko's sales, not all of the sales are correct but it's not too far off. "In 1981 Motown announced that the label sold over 100 million copies of Jackson 5 albums and singles worldwide. Epic Records stated sales of more than 30 million for The Jacksons group by the end of 1984." - wikipedia So the Jackson5/Jacksons sold over 130 million records 'til 1984. Must be about 140 million today. Michael's Motown solo sales are: 14,049,000 singles, 21,394,000 albums. (worldwide 'til 1995 with titles missing). You can say: about 40 million Motown-Solo records. Epic: "Off The Wall": 20 million "Thriller": 60 million "Bad": 29 million "Dangerous: 30 million "HIStory": 18 million (36 million discs) "Blood On The Dance Floor": 7 million "Greatest Hits: Vol. 1": 3 million "Invincible": 10 million "Number Ones": 7,5 million "Essential": 3 million 187,5 million or 205,5 million (if you count HIStory as 2 discs) What about the Epic-Singles? Billie Jean: 3,170 million Beat It: 2,925 million Thriller: 2.527 million Earth Song: 2.349 million Say Say Say: 2.153 million You Are Not Alone: 2.021 million Black Or White: 1.577 million Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough: 1.488 million I Just Can't Stop Lovin' You: 1.409 million Scream: 1.333 million The Girl Is Mine: 1.270 million They Don't Care About Us: 1.197 million Heal The World: 1.079 million Smooth Criminal: 1.076 million Rock With You: 1.047 million Bad: 1.025 million You Rock My World: 1.000 million Remember The Time: 0.961 million = 29.607 million And that are just the singles that made over 1 million worldwide. So it's for sure that he sold more than 50 million singles worldwide with Epic. J5/Jacksons: 140 million (albums & singles) Michael (Motown): 40 million (albums & singles) Michael (Epic): 205,5 million (albums) Michael (Epic): 50 million (singles) That makes about 300 million records without The Jacksons, and about 440 million records sold with the Jacksons. Add "We Are The World": "Ultimately, the single sold 8 million copies in the US. It was released on an album, USA for Africa: We Are the World, which sold over three million copies." - wikipedia Worldwide: 15 million singles and 5 million albums of "We Are The World". That makes 20 million. In total: Michael Jackson sold about 460 million records around the world from 1969 to this day. And I believe, there are a lot of numbers missing from around the world.
