Roberto Carlos and Nelson Gonçalves

If you take a look at the List of best-selling Latin music artists page, Roberto Carlos and Nelson Gonçalves are reported to have sold 100 and 75 million copies, respectively. They both should also be in this page. Check out that article's talk page for discussion of those artists in the lists. Erick ( talk) 17:50, 5 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Change Drake's US sales number that's under Total Certified Units from 426.28 million to 291.5 millions. Assuming you are supposed to add US RIAA Albums sales with Single sales, 291.5 million is correct. Either way 426.28 million is an incorrect number that does not bear out in any source, and is disproved in the source listed. My two sources linked below. https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=top_tallies&ttt=TAA#search_section https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=top_tallies&ttt=TAS#search_section Chasezt ( talk) 02:59, 9 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I think you are right. On the page it writes: Drake Total certified units 530.8 million.
And that states that on 2021, when the reference was checked, he had 426 million, but on the referenced you posted, that are up to date 2024, it states:
  • 47,5 millions (albums) and 244 millions (singles) for a total of 291.5 millions.
The reference that you posted is: /gold-platinum/?tab_active=top_tallies&ttt=TAA#search_section and the one that is on the page is riaa.com/gold-platinum/ that is AWARDS BY MOST RECENT, instead of AWARDS BY TOP TALLIES. I think Top Tallies is an easier reference for the totals.
This happens with many artists. So maybe the numbers are high for some reason. Paladium ( talk) 20:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi, would you mind to help break down their certified sales? -- Apoxyomenus ( talk) 17:42, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply
I only have UK figures is that enough ?. Regards 178.167.167.230 ( talk) 18:01, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Unless, their UK certs are higher than their claimed sales, and therefore meets the criteria, that would be enough. But the idea is that it should include all of their available certifications, like it happens with all artists listed here: from United States to Canada or Australia. -- Apoxyomenus ( talk) 18:15, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply
I don't have that info. Do other people check that stuff out ?. They have been over 70 million sales for years and I have seen their uk sales go up a lot alone since 70 million was mentioned 178.167.167.230 ( talk) 18:21, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply
How far do you put them away from 75 with the figures we have ?. 178.167.167.230 ( talk) 18:21, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Yes every listed artist were included under that criteria. Judging by current artists within the category of 75M claimed sales and from early 1990s, they have a minimun of 55M certified units. I don't know Oasis's total available certified units. I would like to help, but unfortunately I'm bussy. You might consider help us finding their certified units, by scrolling into their discography (also Template:Oasis). We only include certified sales, for example BPI sales not figures from OCC. -- Apoxyomenus ( talk) 19:06, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply

How the hell would i be able to list all of their sales on here ?. it would be impossible ? 178.167.167.230 ( talk) 19:24, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Time-consuming, but it is necessary provide evidence, at least with our current method. -- Apoxyomenus ( talk) 21:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Hi. I'll help you. Here is their sales list in the biggest markets. I didn't find anything other than these and in markets like Brazil, Mexico they either don't have a certificate or the number is less than 100,000 when you add them up. One more thing, sales in Sweden and Australia are until 2009, see if you can get anything after that date.
Thanks, Markus. I found that their certs in Sweden remains the same. I added their Spanish certs per this source. I'll help with other countries. -- Apoxyomenus ( talk) 22:01, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Nice! Forget to include Spain.-- Markus WikiEditor ( talk) 22:10, 13 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Done with Japan, Italy and Switzerland. I'm still busy, not sure if y'll can help with other countries. I tend to believe that they already fit for an automatic inclusion, although there exist various streaming-generated certs and a source is needed for the 75M claim.

Thanks for helping me with this guys I have been following their sales I knew they had to have passed the mark with the UK sales alone in the last while. How many certified sales would they need to reach the 80–99 million section ?. If they have 57 million certified sales at the moment please ?. Can one of you add their photo to that section of the sales please ?. like all the other artists have please ?. Thank you 178.167.186.35 ( talk) 15:33, 18 June 2024 (UTC) reply

This articles should be removed , it's too vague (Elvis Presley and Bing Crosby are the best-selling single artist )

Elvis Presley sold more than 1 billion records worlwide , Bing Crosby sold 1 billion records worlwide , The Beatles more than 1 billion worlwide and Frank Sinatra sold more than 150 millons !

Nobody sold more than them, eve Charts Masters made a count of Sinatra's sold avaible ; with more that 200 millons , Billboard in the 2005 published that Sinatra sold 600 millons worlwide !

This article should be removed....!

In the "Country" section next to Oasis, can you rename it to "United Kingdom", as per usual with the other music artists that hail from the United Kingdom? 2601:40D:101:9D60:13E:A6BD:3E8:F715 ( talk) 16:48, 19 June 2024 (UTC) reply
