text: In the United States, based on album sales:\n\n1. The Beatles\n2. Elvis Presley\n3. Garth Brooks\n4. Led Zeppelin\n5. The Eagles\n6. Billy Joel\n7. Pink Floyd \n8. Barbra Streisand\n9. Elton John\n10. AC/DC\n\nThere really is no reliable worldwide list because many countries do not keep good track of album sales, but I imagine it would be similar to this.
