So who has sold the most popular music albums across the world?
The Beatles
Sometimes hailed as the fathers of pop music, this quintet from Liverpool sets the hearts of the nation on fire with their cheeky personas and the simple and fun music.
Elvis
Even since his death, Elvis has captured the soul of many people and nearly everyone will have their own favourite Elvis song.
Probably the most recognisable man on the earth, even since his death, pop songs are still being released which he had recorded yet never released.
Madonna
This woman is the master of reinvention. Every time we see her, she has invented a new trend and looking amazing. Her music is still as fresh as it was in the 80’s.
Led Zeppelin
Whilst not technically pop music, the virtue that they have sold over 129 million records proves they are popular, so must be pop music.
Queen
With the craziest front man on the planet, Queen were destined to be hugely popular. The music is tuneful and catchy, easy to remember yet complex and intriguing.
Elton John
With the crazy glasses, Elton John has appeal from the youngest child to the oldest granny. Popular music which spans the decades is a rare luxury and Elton John manages it with grace and ease.
Mariah Carey
Mariah has roots in Rhythm and Blues and her music has a cadence which makes you want to tap your toes. With sales of over 200 million records, she certainly has the winning formula for a good solid pop song.
Celine Dion
A star born from the Eurovision Song Contest in 1988, she is influenced by gospel, rock and RnB. Probably most famous for singing ‘My Heart Will Go On’ the ultimate weepy from Titanic.
Pink Floyd
Known for giving the most amazing live performances, Pink Floyd produces music that is technically magnificent and awe inspiring. Whilst not aimed at general music sales, they have a cult following that will ensure any album is long awaited and accepted greedily by the fans.
