List of best-selling music artists

Extended-protected article
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The followinglist of best-selling music artists includes musical artists from the 20th century to the present with claims of 75 million or morerecord sales worldwide. The tables list artists in descending order by claimed sales; artists with equal claimed sales are ranked bycertified units.

The claimed-sales and certified-unit figures include sales of albums, singles, compilation albums, and music videos as well as downloads of singles and full-length albums. Sales figures, such as those fromSoundScan, which are sometimes published byBillboard magazine, are not included in the certified-units column.

Definitions

From 2011 to 2021, the number of platinum certifications for songs grew at an average annual rate of 18%.[1] The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and almost all other certifying bodies count streaming towards Gold and Platinum thresholds required for certification.[2][3][4] The RIAA counts 10 downloads of individual tracks as well as 1,500 audio/video streams asan equivalent to one unit of album, including those from singles released before the album release.[5] Theoretically, if one song were streamed 1.5 billion times onYouTube, the single would receiveDiamond and its album could be certified Platinum; thus generating a combined total of 11 million certified units without any sales.[6][7]Kanye West's albumThe Life of Pablo was certified platinum exclusively through streaming.[8] Longer albums with more songs tend to generate more streams, which can lead to gold and platinum certifications. For example,Chris Brown's 45-song albumHeartbreak on a Full Moon was certified gold in fewer than 10 days, although its singles did not perform well on sales charts.[9]

Issued certifications for songs which have been recorded by multiple artists, including featured artists, are added to each artist's total amount of certified units, as all the artists would have played a significant part in a song. For example, "This Is What You Came For" include Rihanna andCalvin Harris, while "Where Them Girls At" includeFlo Rida andNicki Minaj, so the certifications issued for these songs are added to the total amount of certified units for all involved artists. However, the certifications issued for songs that have been recorded by four or more artists are not included, as the artists involved would have played minor roles; examples include Kanye West's "Monster" and "All Day".[a]

Notes

  1. ^Below you can get an understanding as to when certifications for songs are added to the total certified sales of the listed artists.
    • One lead artist and one featured artist. (The issued certification(s) should be added to the total of both, the lead artist and the featured artist as both will have almost equal amount of part).
    • Two lead artists.(The issued certification(s) should be added to the total of both lead artists as both will have almost equal amount of part).
    • Two lead artists and one featured artist. (The issued certification(s) should be added to the total of both lead artists as well as the featured artist. Both lead artists will play a significant part in a song and the part of the featured artist also should be significant enough).
    • One lead artist and two featured artists. (The issued certification(s) should be added to the total of the lead artist and to the total of both featured artists as almost all should have equal amount of part).

Some (or all) records released and sold prior to a certification system's establishment year may not be found within the available searchable certification databases. Year of establishment (from largest market to smallest based onRetail Value each market generates respectively):[452][453]Certified sales might sometimes be larger than actual sales, if stores order more albums than they are able to sell, due to certifications generally being determined by shipments and not actual sales. Often, however, actual sales are larger than certified sales, since record labels must pay a fee to obtain certifications. Record companies often apply for certifications only when a record reaches a multiple-certification level, meaning certifications might not be visible in the databases for more than a short period of time after an album reached a certification level.[466][467]As global music sales declined in the 2000s mostly due to CD burning and downloading from unauthorized sites, certification bodies opted to reduce their certification levels.[468] See the changes in Certification-award-levels in the following markets:
