Wow I have never seen the Captain Marvel Box Office theory used for album sales before.

Looking it up The Beatles are higher than Perry anyway so not sure what has twisted their panties.

Somehow this was prompted by a news article about Konami NFTs.

Maybe they're confusing it with Teenage Dream beating out Thriller for "most number one singles" or something, lol

is "selling more records" really a category that remains constant between the two eras?

Even if you're only accounting for what the Beatles sold since Katy Perry has been active, album wise I would guarantee they still sold more.

And if counting all time, only Elvis comes within somewhat of an earshot.

1. Beatles 600 mil
2. Elvis 500 mil
3. MJ 400 mil
4. Elton John 300 mil
5. Madonna 300 mil

Aren't the Eagles the best-selling band and Garth Brooks the best-selling solo artist?

Wikipedia: "According to RIAA, Brooks is the top-selling solo artist of all time with 157 million certified albums in the US."

I'm pretty sure the Eagles just had a best selling compilation album.

Anyway, imagine if the Beatles came out with something like "1" (released in 2000) and instead released it in the 1970s when "Beatlemania" was still fresh on everyone's minds.

The Eagles have the best selling album, I believe. Their greatest hits album surpassed MJs Thriller a few years back.

Even Katy Perry's a better drummer than Ringo.

An album was already about $6 in 1960.
Sixty years later, and the price is sticky at $10.

You couldn't pay me to listen to that through.'
Well, you could, I guess, but I would probably turn down a $100 bill not to do it.

TBF that has more or less kept up with the quality of the music.
