Well the Beatles outsold Elvis in the US, but Elvis out sold the Beatles in the UK. Also, are those random artists at the end foreign cause I've never heard of them?

Source is bogus -- figures are based on estimates (of WHAT, who knows?). intro to entry number 10 begins as follows: "While there are many music artists to claim they have sold 250 million records (Alla Pugacheva, Cliff Richard, Elton John, Madonna, Pink Floyd), we have decided to go with Julio Iglesias to finish off our list of the biggest selling music artists." Arbitrary, no?

The accurate list, according to wikipedia, is this: 1. The Beatles: 238.6M, (claimed 600M-1B) 2. Elvis Presley: 189.2M (claimed 600M-1B) 3. Michael Jackson: 150M (claimed 300M-750M) 4. ABBA: 52.3M (claimed 300-370M) 5. Madonna: 153.3M (claimed 300M) 6. Queen: 86.2M (claimed 150-300M) 7. Elton John claimed 250M 8. Bee Gees claimed 220M 9. ACDC claimed 200M 10. Celine Dion claimed 200M (Although this lists largely relies on claimed figures by highly reliable sources, some of the figures may need further examination to avoid inflated sales figures which is frequently practiced by Record Companies for promotional purposes) Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_selling_artists
