{{Short description|none}}{{pp-extended|small=yes}}{{Use mdy dates|date=January 2015}}The following list of best-selling music artists includes those music acts from the 20th century to the present with claims of 75 million or more record sales worldwide. This information cannot be listed officially, as there is no organization that has recorded global music sales.The tables are listed with each artist's claimed sales figure(s) and their total independently certified units and are ranked in descending order by claimed sales. If two or more artists have the same claimed sales, they are then ranked by certified units. The claimed sales figure and the total of certified units (for each country) within the provided sources include sales of albums, singles, compilation-albums, music videos as well as downloads of singles and full-length albums. Sales figures, such as those from SoundScan, which are sometimes published by Billboard magazine, have not been included in the certified units column.

Definitions

Gold/Platinum certifications issued after 2016, especially on singles, are in some cases more than 50% streaming generated. Some of the 20th century artists can also have significant amount of streaming based certifications. The certified units of the newer artists may sometimes be higher than their listed claimed figures. This is because Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and almost all other certifying bodies count streaming towards Gold and Platinum thresholds required for Digital Single Award certification.NEWS,weblink RIAA Debuts Album Award With Streams, RIAA, January 15, 2017, February 1, 2016, February 2, 2016,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20160202081752weblink">weblink live, NEWS,weblink Music streaming numbers now count toward Canada's Gold/Platinum certifications, National Music Centre, January 15, 2017, September 19, 2016,weblink January 16, 2017, dead, NEWS,weblink France Now Counts Streaming Towards Certified Sales Awards, musicbusinessworldwide.com, January 15, 2017, October 5, 2016, January 16, 2017,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20170116173408weblink">weblink live, For this reason, some singles and even albums get over certified by hundreds of thousands of units. The over certified figures, however, are often in millions of units for RIAA certifications, one such example is Rihanna's single "We Found Love", which is certified at nine times Platinum by the RIAA, yet during the time of the certification, it had sold 5.4 million downloads.NEWS,weblink RIAA Gold and Platinum: We Found Love, RIAA, January 15, 2017, February 1, 2016, August 3, 2020,weblink live, NEWS,weblink Ask Billboard: Rihanna's Best-Selling Songs & Albums, Billboard, Trust, Gary, January 15, 2017, June 23, 2015, November 9, 2015,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20151109081157weblink">weblink live, The certified units for some artists/bands who have multi-disc albums can be higher than their listed claimed figures due to the RIAA counting each unit within set as one unit toward certification. The certified units also can be inflated by the redundancy of certifications, because each of tracks downloads and streams contributed to the certifications of both of the single and the respective album. The RIAA counts 10 downloads of individual track as well as 1,500 audio/video streams as an equivalent to one unit of album, including those from singles released prior to the album release.WEB,weblink RIAA AND GR&F CERTIFICATION AUDIT REQUIREMENTS RIAA ALBUM AWARD, Recording Industry Association of America, August 15, 2022, July 29, 2022,weblink live, Theoretically, if one song were streamed 1.5 billion times on YouTube, the single would receive Diamond and the whole album could be certified Platinum,WEB,weblink Forget Selling Albums — Artists Can Now Go Platinum Via Streaming, Anastasia, Tsioulcas, February 1, 2016, NPR,weblink April 17, 2022, thus creating a combined total of 11 million certified units without any sales. Kanye West's album The Life of Pablo achieved Platinum without selling a single copy and was only available for streaming.NEWS,weblink Kanye West's 'The Life Of Pablo' Just Went Platinum and He Didn't Even Sell A Single CD, Danielle, Kwateng-Clark, Essence (magazine), Essence, April 5, 2017,weblink July 31, 2021, Issued certifications for songs which have been recorded by multiple artists including featured artists are added to each artist's total amount of certified units, as all the artists would have played a significant part in a song. For example, "This Is What You Came For" and "Where Them Girls At" include Rihanna and Flo Rida, Nicki Minaj as featured artists respectively, so the certifications issued for these songs are added to the total amount of certified units for all involved artists. However, the certifications issued for songs that have been recorded by four or more artists are not included as the artists involved would have played minor roles, examples of such songs are Kanye West's "Monster" and/or "All Day".{{efn|name=songs}}

Notes

{{notelist|40em|refs={{efn|name=cert|Certification systems have been established periodically throughout the past half century; thus, certification databases are not able to cover all sales. Some (or all) records released and sold prior to a certification system's establishment year may not be found within the available searchable certification databases. Year of establishment (from largest market to smallest based on Retail Value each market generates respectively): Certified sales might sometimes be larger than actual sales, if stores order more albums than they are able to sell, due to certifications generally being determined by shipments and not actual sales. Often, however, actual sales are larger than certified sales, since record labels must pay a fee to obtain certifications. Record companies often apply for certifications only when a record reaches a multiple-certification level, meaning certifications might not be visible in the databases for more than a short period of time after an album reached a certification level.NEWS,weblink Spun: The Off-the-Wall Accounting of Record Sales, The Wall Street Journal, Bialik, Carl, September 8, 2009, July 15, 2009, WEB,weblink The awards: Certifications, Recording Industry Association of America, August 6, 2011, As global music sales declined in the 2000s mostly due to CD burning and downloading from unauthorized sites, certification bodies opted to reduce their certification levels.WEB,weblink The Recording Industry – World Sales 2003, International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, September 16, 2009, December 29, 2011,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20111229203203weblink">weblink dead, See the changes in Certification-award-levels in the following markets:
