The three of them combined still didn't do it, not even close. Did you know if you put all of the Beatles /Paul McCartney hits on the charts back to back instead of many at once, as was often the case, he/ they by what I understand would have been on the billboard charts for 35 consecutive years. Even if it were just 5 it would have been incredible. As far as Michael Jackson "Thriller" best selling album in the history of music, not to mention all of his hit singles and Elvis would take me make this one of those threads that read like a book lol Madonna had a large following, but really only a handful of charting hits and Mariah (one of my all time favorites) and Celine weren't much different. We can continue this in the MUSIC - MUSIC - MUSIC topic I started over in the forum games section of AC. I would appreciate if one of the moderators could move this to there so we don't keep this thread off topic thanks.

Droid, although Madonna started in 1979 I'll give it to you because she became popular in the mid 80's, just like Elvis started in the 50's. I take my hat off to you my friend, according to Billboard Madonna is the number two best selling artist of all time, second only to the Beatles WOW! I loved her music in the 80s and had no idea she sold that many. CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN DROIDX AWESOME!

Thanks imnutsnj,
Yeah 80's into the mid 90's did have some undeniable powerhouses. Whitney houston was one of the. Unfortunately he life took a horrible turn at some point, its such a shame she was really classy and was on top of the work until she met bobby brown. I loved hall and oates , phil colins. Lionelle Ritchie although he was a product of the 70s he spilt over significantly into the 80's.
Aerosmith has had ridiculously longevity although they have become watered down.
But all of them pale in comparison of the potency of the golden age. For good reason aswell from the 50's and 60's all that music was novel and fresh to everyone and exposure was very potent. Tv didn't have hundreds of channels as we do now, everyone was watch ed Sullivan or American band stand. 80's and mid 90's had VH1 and MTV, but even they stopped playing music.
Nowadays music is a different animal entirely. There is so much out there that it is tough to find quality in the sea of media that panders to Prepubescent America. Our youth is emotionally crippled, they know to much and understand to little.
You can see this from the content of the music. Little girls 11 yrs singing about their "milkshake bringing the boys to the yard" if that is not an example of knowing to much and understanding to little I don't know what is.
