I don't think that is the right way to handle this dilemma. It needs well researched data and graphs to back up any arguments :yesey:

 

yes are we talking album sales, number of people registered on the respective band's forums, are we talking worldwide or within a specific country or region... if we are doing some comparing we need some data and comparison criteria.

Just found some proof.

 

Considering they pulled in over $130 million in the last year, it's not surprising that U2 is the biggest selling band in the world.

 

According to Forbes, AC/DC was in second place with $114 million, followed by Beyonce Knowles ($87 million), Bruce Springsteen ($70 million) and Britney Spears ($64 million).

 

Rounding out the Top 10 is Jay-Z with $63 million, Lady GaGa ($62 million), Madonna ($58 million), Kenny Chesney ($50 million) and the Black Eyed Peas and Coldplay with $48 million each.

That last one was for sales, but when it comes to fan-base as in members of the bands website, the results are quite.... wierd...

 

The band with the largest fan base in the world is Korean Boy Band DBSK, (International name- TVXQ).

 

They succesfully broke the Guiness World Record for the Band with the largest Fan Base with over 800, 000 official fans. These fans span all over the world and the offical figure is deducted from those persons who pay to be an offical member of the fan group dedicated to DBSK, called Casseopia.

 

To put that into MUSE perspective, Muse have "Members: 161,343"

Ah but see here is where the country restriction comes in. Coldplay managed to sell out Goffertpark, Nijmegen twice. Whereas Muse didn't manged to sell all tickets for just the one date.

To put it in a usable perspective, name a few American or European bands instead.
