March 3, 20205 yr ^ Why not? 50th anniversary Abbey Road plus catalogue albums. Yeah but the tenth best selling artist worldwide?! EDIT: Just spotted Queen at No. 5, didn't even notice that earlier! I'm genuinely shocked at how many people are buying Queen and The Beatles in 2019 compared to newer artists. I guess it just shows how enduring those bands are. Edited March 3, 20205 yr by M4NGO
