			== The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) ==

			The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) published a list of the 150 best-selling artists (albums and singles worldwide) in early 2006.

			Top ten:

			Elvis Presley - 1,485,000,000

			The Beatles - 1,350,000,000

			Bing Crosby - 900,000,000

			'''Frank Sinatra - 650,000,000'''

			Michael Jackson - 400,000,000

			ABBA - 370,000,000

			Elton John - 360,000,000

			Madonna - 350,000,000

			Cliff Richard - 250,000,000

			The Rolling Stones - 240,000,000

			Singers Male:

			Elvis Presley - 1,485,000,000

			Bing Crosby - 900,000,000

			'''Frank Sinatra - 650,000,000'''

			Michael Jackson - 400,000,000

			Elton John - 250,000,000

			Cliff Richard - 250,000,000

			For female singers:

			Madonna - 389,000,000 (singles+albums+live DVD)

			Nana Mouskouri - 250,000,000

			Céline Dion - 250,000,000

			Mariah Carey - 210,000,000

			Cher - 190,000,000
	There is a statement toward the end of the article that says "it is reported" that Sinatra became less outspoken about racism after he affiliated with Republicans. The source is Kitty Kelly, who Misplaced Pages's own page regarding Ms. Kelly points out numerous times where the accuracy of her statements were called into question. She wrote about Ronald Reagan committing date rape among other things. The page quotes Barbara Walters (not a Republican) who says that her books are more salacious than factual.

			Whitney Houston - 189,000,000
	The obvious subtext of including such a line is obviously to suggest that either Republicans approve of racism or that Sinatra was pressured to tone it down.

			Tina Turner - 180,000,000
	Including this comment (i.e. "it is reported that he ...") from this dubious source appears biased and does nothing to support the article other than to taint the man for having the audacity to associate with Republicans.

			As for music groups:
	] (]) 05:45, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

			The Beatles - 1,350,000,000
	== Ronin Farrow paternity ==

			Abba - 370,000,000
	There are ample reliable sources discussing Sintra as being the biological father of Ronin Farrow, so it seems odd that this isn’t even mentioned here. Indeed, it’s all over Farrow’s page so I doubt there are any BLP concerns. Thoughts about including something here? --] (]) 19:23, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

			The Rolling Stones - 240,000,000
	Since there are "ample reliable sources," why not go ahead and add information about this? Or leave the sources here, and I'll do it. ] (]) 15:35, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
	After posting the reply above, I went to look for those ample sources. I didn't find any. Then I looked for those mentions on Ronan's (not Ronin) page. Couldn't find any of those, either. ] (]) 15:42, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

			Conclusion: Among male artists, the leader by far is Elvis Presley, with almost 1.5 billion records sold. As for women, Madonna is clearly in the lead, with more than 350 million records sold worldwide. Nana Mouskouri is in second place, with sales mainly in Europe. ] (]) 04:34, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

	:Note Sinatra has no credit as a producer on ''A Hole in the Head'', and is an executive producer on ''The First Deadly Sin''. More importantly, putting "director" in the opening sentence would lead the reader to believe Sinatra directed a lot more than one film and two episodes of a variety show. While this should be mentioned in the article, it is not enough to support "director" being listed in the lead as an occupation. - ] (]) 14:00, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
