With "zero" media support and radio playThat number of records sold is only in Rod’s imagination (and press releases).
Yeah, we reached a final verdict (see above) that Maiden has sold about 65 million albums.
More than that - 56 million studio albums, around 5 million in compilations and 17 million for live albums/videos.
Concert videos are highly relevant, and we are only talking about official stuff. The LAD VHS sold over a million copies, and Best of the Beast sold a couple of millions on its own, Edward the Great and the 2008 compilation over a million each etc, RiR 900 k for the album, 500 k for the dvd and so on. We are almost at 80 million.Then we have ~70 million albums. No need to bother about videos /non-Maiden released compilations.
In the performer category the group includes Kate Bush, Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott,George Michael, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine and The Spinners.
DJ Kool Herc and Link Wray will be the recipients of the Musical Influence Award, while Chaka Khan, Al Kooper and Bernie Taupin have been selected to receive the Musical Excellence Award.
This year’s Ahmet Ertegun Award recipient is Don Cornelius.
Ah, but we did not add the physical singles, they are ”units” too. Off the top of my head, that’s 5 million more or so. One step closer…All but one with less than9979 million records sold.
