Quoted from CrazyLevi:

How does Michael Jackson stack up? Or Madonna?

Quoted from o-din:

What do you think this is worth? My grandma handed it to me when I was a small child and said "here, you like Elvis". I said "I do?" but took it anyway. It is dated 1956 on the bottom and for some reason it hung around for all these years.[quoted image]

Quoted from lpeters82:

Yeah, I'm not saying he didn't have albums. I just feel that prevalence of singles could be a big reason for the disparity between the figures which I was quoting above. I mean if you ask the average person to name Elvis albums, how many do you think they will come up with? My guess is not many. I think the Beatles albums are more widely known: Abbey Road, Sgt. Papper's Revolver, Rubber Soul, The White Album, etc. It was just a guess, but I'll have to dig into the figures.
Elvis
Studio Albums: 24
Singles: 111
The Beatles
Studio Albums: 23
Singles: 63
I'm not even saying that as a bad thing, or a dig a Elvis. I just think it's not fair to use total diamond, platinum, and gold sales as an accurate metric for greatest artist. Elvis is clearly leading that due to his shear number of singles released. After looking into the statistics now, I feel anything having to do with album sales give the edge to The Beatles. I don't think it's close. Elvis' best selling, and only diamond, album was his Christmas Album. The Beatles have six, second to only Garth Brooks.
