From the BBC,
Paul has sold over 100 million solo singles and over 700 million albums, generating over 1 billion worldwide record sales whilst winning over 70 major global awards - including 18 Grammys and 8 Brit awards. In 1990, Paul set the world record for largest concert attendance ever in Brazil 184,000 people and since the turn of the century alone Paul has played almost 500 concerts around the world.
I don't believe those sales figures.
The original Cavern Club in Liverpool was where The Beatles played nearly 300 times between 1961-63. Over 50 years later in July 2018, Paul played a secret gig at the legendary venue, performing a 28-song set to 250 lucky gig-goers. Paul and his band performed songs from the 60s to (his then new album) Egypt Station, which was released 54 years after The Beatles had claimed their first hit Number One on the Billboard Album Charts. BBC One will broadcast this very special performance in December.
Thanks - any idea what the total numbers are including SoundScan.
Abbey Road was last certified at 12 million copies sold in early 2001, is certainly getting close to 16 million sold to date, it might be there already.
Sgt. Pepper was last certified at 11 million copies sold as of early 1997, to date is likely at minimum 14 million sold to date.
"1" needs to be re certified at 13 X platinum, the White Album was last certified at 24 million copies sold (12 million double units, per RIAA counting standards).
