List of best-selling music artists

edit

We avoid using sources which use the term "Albums" when referring to the maximum number of sold "Records" (albums, singles and videos). There are very few artists on the list 95% of record-sales rely on album sales only. The Queen, however, are not one of them based on their certified sales. And it's always a good idea to open up a discussion at the talk page when you disagree with the reversions made by one of the main editors of any list/article on Wikipedia. Hitting the "Undo/Revert" button is not the right approach, in fact, that can be viewed as edit warring.--Harout72 (talk) 16:50, 30 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

As I said, the existing cite uses "albums". Spare me the passive-aggressive garbage. Wild Ones76 (talk) 00:54, 1 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

The other source that once supported the 300 million figure doesn't seem to open up fully at the moment; so, I'm not sure how you were able to see whether it claimed Albums or Records, but I remember seeing "Records". And the sources supporting the 150 million figure are no good either as one of them is a dead link, and the other seems to have disappeared. I'll leave your source in place just for now. Once we locate a reliable source that can support 300 million records, we should remove the source that you provided.--Harout72 (talk) 02:04, 1 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
