You say CD's but at least according to the video he was switching top spot with the Beatles and Led Zeppelin well into the 70s and took forever to fall off the list.

Same. She flew by beyonce

Maybe it was that titanic song. I remember that song playing everywhere

CDs make up a large portion of his total numbers.
Anyway, between 1968-1977 the guy was still big and selling consistently.
Then the planet earth stopped spinning the day he died. When it started up again the sales went nuts.

Yeah but she stayed on the chart like a wart for years. She's 250 million albums. How is that possible? White middle class husbands need to start keeping a tighter leash on their women folk.

Hell, didn't Elvis have a number one (not just a hit, but a number ****ing one!) long after he was dead? How can you rate such popularity? Can't think of anyone else who managed that. There probably were a few, but this one sticks out in history to me.

It was a #1 hits compilation. The Beatles hit #1 decades after disbanding with the same type of package.

No I'm talking about a number one single. "Way Down"?
And the Beatles may have been disbanded but they weren't dead.

:yikes:

I always look at the middle of the pack ...and man the bee gees went strong for a long time ….. ??? went out then came right back ..??? weird

Bee Gees were massive the second half of the 60s but got overshadowed when AOR radio took over.

And then disco.........
