Ces données viennent du RIAA...reste a compter combien d'album on possède dans cette liste... j'en ai a peu pres 30 ...la plupart en vrai cd en plus pas en mp3...mais non j'ai pas les backstreetboys ni Britney spears

[Frank]

Wow! Impressionnant!

À titre indicatif, on est 32 millions au Canada et 7 au Québec....


Les meilleurs vendeurs, c'est des bands old school

[pwel]

Faut préciser que c'est les ventes MONDIALES là...on est pas bcp ici comparé les USA pi l'europe c'est pour ca que certains albums se vendent autant...

Faut préciser aussi que c'est les ventes par album donc ya kek wannabe genre britney là...mais c'est sur que Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd et les Beatles sont plus pour plus qu'un album...

Je serais curieux de voir le même palmares mais pour les ventes totales de tous les albums d'un meme artiste ou band...jpense que là les beatles serait asser fort! Pi les wannabe sortiaient de la liste...si je trouve ca ma le poster...
