Here is the link to the Recording Industry Association of America, which tracks album sales. You have to scroll way far down until you get to Maroon 5 at 13 million units.

Is this in order? I.e., has Maroon 5 grossed more than Metallica and the Stones?

Yep, in that order. I was surprised as well.

This is a big disconnect, even for what they report for #1 which is Beatles in

Shame on anyone who picks Maroon 5

I like the Beatles but am surprised they’re in the lead. Thought Queen or U2 would win

You do you man. Let the haters hate (I hate Maroon 5 btw...)

Marc Spector

Has to be the Beatles for two reasons
