His tours ended ten years ago. Both Elvis and MJ have made music that will be listened to 100 years from now and even longer - yeah sure, people thought that about Bing Crosby and many others. Some MJ songs, like "Billie Jean," could have been released today and they would be thought of as "modern." - Hahahahahahahaha, thank I needed a good laugh! Thriller sounds almost as dated as Off the Wall. Is this figure for "record"/albums, or does it include singles sales and just about everything else? - Most of Bing's sales are singles. A delusional site claimed 900 million (and 1.1 billion for Elvis) - Far less delusional than WJ's mentally ill fans claiming 750 million sales, when the actual number is 300 million. I'd be willing to buy something in between 200 to 400 million for Crosby (likely towards the lower end), but the problem is that not many sources mention this. I don't know if it's because Bing Crosby has been largely forgotten now - Yeah dream on, Crosby's sales were well over 400 million by 1980, 27 years ago, and it's funny that this "largely forgotten" entertainer has the biggest selling jazz album at amazon. Bing is more important than Jackson in every way, influence and sales, and he didn't need any promoters or producers to help him. ( )
