Springsteen 15th all-time in US album sales


The RIAA released its list of the top album sales of all time in the US and our man Springsteen sits in spot number 15 with a total of 62.5 million albums sold. The chart is accurate up to 7/31/2006.

Springsteen is 7th among solo artists behind Elvis, Garth Brooks, Billy Joel, Streisand, Elton John, Madonna and George Strait.

What this listing does not tell you is how the advent of the digital download plays into this it. Album sales are a majority of sales but these numbers should somehow take into consideration the single tracks being bought.
