total sales?
Do anyone know roughly the total world wide sale.
Who has more 1D or leona? Obvously leona has the advantage of being out longer? And what about other sucessful acts like JLS, Olly, Alex, Cher ect? Have any of them passed the 5 million or 10 million mark? Even shayne must have about 3 2 million? And matt? |

In terms of album sales, tracking worldwide is difficult. Mediatraffic do compile sales from most major markets. Their stats so far have One Direction on 8.1m albums sold (4.4m of Up All Night, 3.7m of Take Me Home). Not sure about singles, but potentially more than 10m. Based on RIAA cetifications they've got about 6m in the US alone.
Estimates for Spirit range from about 6-7m. Echo about 1m (possibly less, possibly as high as 1.4m). Bleeding Love alone has sold 9m worldwide. The rest are nowhere near. JLS are really UK only where they've sold about 2.5m. Olly is in similar territory. Shayne has sold over 1m UK albums. He had some international success but mainly in smaller markets so I've no idea of the numbers. G4 (series 1) also sold 1m UK albums. |

Diana Vickers has sold roughly half a million records, not that big but she never really went international!

Alexandra has sold over 4m records and she must have about 100 - 200k sales from Europe on top of that. JLS have not sold 10m records "worldwide" as they've never released anything outside the UK & Ireland besides the US. The figure is more like 4m or 5m at the most.

It's sad that people will read your post and deem her to have failed.. compare that to what the average aspiring recording artist will achieve.

JLS only sold 2.5m? Are you sure about that? With all the albums and singles they've brought out, I'm sure their sales are much higher than that figure.

Cher is probably close to 5 million if she hasn't reached it already. Want U Back has sold 2,000,000 in the US and then add on Oath's sales and then her album and you'll probably get to around 2,500,000 in the US alone. Add on her UK success and then she's done relatively well in countries like Australia as well.

Not 4th place finisher QUEEN being the third most successful international act to come from the show EVER... Not 4th place finisher QUEEN landing acting roles on American TV shows and judging roles on their talent shows like a seasoned legend... Not 4th place finisher QUEEN's perfume exceeding sales expectations by 500%... Not 4th place finisher QUEEN's number one anthem of our generation, the immortal Swagger Jagger, being named the best number one of 2011 by the Guardian newspaper... Not 4th place finisher QUEEN's debut album being named Mercury Prize worthy by the Guardian newspaper... Not 4th place finisher QUEEN's videos having over 222,000,000 Vevo views... Not 4th place finisher QUEEN's singles charting everywhere from New Zealand to America to Canada to Australia to Japan to Trinidad & Tobego to the United Arab Emirates to Barbados to Saudi Arabia to Thailand to Brazil to Papua New Guinea to Norway to Latvia to Mexico... Not 4th place finisher QUEEN writing and recording her second album overseen by legendary songwriter Max Martin... Not 4th place finisher QUEEN proving wrong every one of the thirsty plebs who dared question her POWER and STRENGTH and remaining the 4th place finisher QUEEN whilst doing so... IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS CHER LLOYD |
