	Think you should accept acdc without the / and gnr. I could have used a minute more.

	Just a warning on these numbers: If an artist like Elvis had an album that sold just shy of gold, it would count as zero to the RIAA. Hence Aretha Franklin is not atop the F's.

	Hard to believe Michael Jackson is not on here.

	I kinda made this quiz two months ago: http://www.sporcle.com/games/piano_guitar/alphamusic_sales

	I'm quite certain that Michael Jackson's sold more albums than Billy Joel.

	Looking at your source, I think Garth Brooks should have changed his name.

	Surprised that ABBA and Michael Jackson aren't on the list!

	gt110:	Feb 1st, 2010 at 12:48 GMT		1 point
	Beatles, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson had sold over a billion. And ABBA had sold more then AC/DC, and the album sells is wrong to.

	It's "Barbra" Streisand, not "Barbara." Agree with PPs: Michael Jackson has to have sold more than Billy Joel.

	it was embarrassing how bad I did. I clicked Give up and when I saw ACDC, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, Led Zepplin, Ozzy Osborne, Elvis, Queen, and the Who of course, I was so disappointed in myself! Oh and if it is true that ABBA sold more than ACDC, I want them on here because I love ABBA and they are not getting respect.

	Shouldn't Kenny G be under G's? Also, why does everyone expect Michael Jackson to have sold more than Billy Joel or Elton John?

	dxman:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 01:44 GMT		1 point
	Wait...only 6% got Ozzy? He's the first one I think of when an O musician comes up.

	MitchellGoosen:	May 20th, 2010 at 17:07 GMT		0 points
	Thriller alone sold more copies than all of Billy Joel's albums combined.... Michael Jackson is clearly the correct answer

	dxman:	Jun 11th, 2010 at 20:32 GMT		0 points
	@MitchellGoosen: That's worldwide sales.

	Garble86:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 20:41 GMT		2 points
	Yeah, I was going to say this quiz should specify that it's US sales only, though RIAA did make me realise this. But was a very fun quiz - brain-wracking!!
