We will have none of that B*witched slander thank you very much, Geri on the other hand carry on

B*witched were awful, they didn't deserve a single number one, let alone 4 of them! Definitely the worst of the big girl bands of that era. At least Geri had some decent songs (if we forget the existence of 'Look At Me' lol)

    The pair of you can zip it, Geri is worth every #1 and Look at me not being one of them is a CRIME! I was simply highlighting that Tina is a more legendary act than either that is all. whip

    A few others that have shifted plenty of units worldwide and maybe should have been considered -

    Dire Straits - 150M+

    Genesis - 150M +

    Eagles - 200M+

    Dolly Parton - 100M+

    Shania Twain - 100M+

    Johnny Cash - 90M+

    Linkin Park - 100M+

    Def Leppard - 100M+

    Pearl Jam - 85-100M

    Black Sabbath - 85M+

    Aerosmith - 150M+

    Neil Young - 135M+ (if you include his work with Buffalo Springfield and CSNY)

    Garth Brooks - 200M+

    And of course the daddy of them all -

    Bing Crosby - Estimated as much as 1B+ (White Christmas alone has sold in excess of 50M)

    Garth Brooks is probably the biggest artist that 99% of the British public have probably never heard of. He's like to us what Robbie Williams is to Americans.
