List of Best-Selling Music Artist (all time)

The world's best-selling music artists lists artists with claims of 50 million or more record sales in multiple third-party reliable sources. The sales figures within the provided sources include sales of albums, singles, compilation-albums, music videos as well as downloads of singles and full-length albums. Within record-sales brackets, artists are listed in alphabetical order, rather than by number of records sold. The tables the artists in which are listed with both their estimated sales figures and certified sales ranks the artist/band with most sales/certified sales at the top.

All artists included on this list are required to have their lowest available claimed figures supported by at least 15% certified sales. It is this reason why Cliff Richard, Alla Pugacheva, Bing Crosby, Nana Mouskouri and A. R. Rahman have not been included on this list. Newer artists such as Lady Gaga are expected to have their claimed figures supported by at least 50% certified sales.

Note: Although this list 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.
