I had read that they were bigger than these figures!

Interesting! Well I could certainly see them being bigger than Michael Jackson in the US in terms of album sales and I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true in Canada, the UK and obviously Australia. But I'd imagine their appeal outside of English-speaking countries is more limited than Michael Jackson's so I bet world-wide he has them beat by quite a bit.
