    Ps just because you sell 160 million albums in total, doesn't mean you've sold to 160 million separate people.

    And most yanks and europeans don't give a **** about Bowie...

    Same with most people in the UK under 40 (and I'm being generous) too...

    And ****loads of old ****s don't give a **** about him either...

    600 Million sales worldwide for the Beatles, not every Beatles fan has bought their music, I have all their albums but I've only ever bought 2.

    True but then most people don't give a **** about Beethoven,Shakespeare,Dickens,Van Gogh,Joyce et al but to dismiss them willy nilly would be gross ignorance,just saying.

    You clearly cannot read very well, or are just selective in what you choose to read, is that your university education again?

    The Beatles haven't even sold that many albums in total (700+ million) so how can you say that's how many people think they are legends?

    Billion? FFS

    Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi are in the Guinness book of records and I bet you not even heard of them

    That song ''Brimful of Asha'' was a tribute to lata's sister asha Bhonsle
    anyone sang about Bowie?
