[Mirow71]

When i search best selling artist of the century i get articles from 2015/2016 and it says eminem is the best selling artist but is there a update in 2018? anyone know?

My guess is Michael Jackson.

I just typed in google though, and here's the best selling artists of all time apparently (looks like all from the 20th century)

Eagles – 130+ Million. ...
Led Zeppelin – 140 Million. ...
Garth Brooks – 145 Million. ...
Elton John – 162 Million. ...
Madonna – 166 Million. ...
Michael Jackson – 175 Million. ...
Elvis Presley – 210 Million. ...
The Beatles – 265 Million.

So I guess it's the Beatles. Not surprising, usually stuff that is the most popular is pretty mediocre. Case in point, mcdonalds is the most popular restaurant in the world and more recognizable across the world than the Catholic Cross.

According to this list, Eminem is number 12.

The 20th century is over. The numbers won't change.

I don't know much about art, but there are a lot more artists than only musicians.
That's just one point I wanted to add.
