I Won't Brook It
The Recording Industry Association of America's site has a nifty list of the top-selling (in the US) artists. I never would have guessed that Garth Brooks comes in at #4--with a total of over 100 million albums sold. Who knew? My boys, U2, come in pretty far down the list--with 50.5 million. I wonder what the list would look like if worldwide sales were taken into account?
The top ten, in millions sold:

The Beatles - 168.5

Until Whenever

I have a link to the RIAA site, because I use it at works. Got chastized for it because of some of their views on protecting artists. But when they defended SONY/BMG's software ddebacle, I kept 'em there, but said an uncomplimentary thing about them at the link.
