Which music artist has the greatest hits of All-Time?

[MadeFromDust]

Hey diipshiites. The question was which music artist, not which music artists or group.

Everybody knows tons of Beetles songs and just don't know that tune they love is a Beetles song.

Naaaaaaaah. A lot of people don't know or like a single Beatles song. Im sure you could play some and they know they heard it in a commercial or movie...but they wouldn't call it a song they love. Id bet anything my grandma wouldn't know a single beatles song. She knows Michael Jackson though. And shes about to be 93. She knows him and so do her great grand kids.

Im not even sure how. But they just....absorbed knowledge of him the same way kids still know Super Mario and Sonic when they have barely been brought up for 20 years.

Mike is the only musician I suspect is known by anyone I could find over 6 and under 80. Little black kids don't know Elvis. Or the Beatles.

But they know Michael Jackson.

Queen wouldn't even make the top of the list of white rock acts.

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles all have greater claims that Queen.

The Eagles Greatest Hits sold at least 32 Million copies.

Plus The Eagles were played on many more types of radio stations than Queen.

The Beatles' Yesterday is the most covered song of all time with something like 3,000 covers.

I would think worldwide only Elvis, The Beatles and Michael Jackson are in the running for this.

*forgot "Just the Two of Us"

People know Bill Wither's songs, but they don't know it's Bill Withers who sing them.

You can here a James Brown song for the first time ever, and know it's James Brown.

The brothers ain't known to be very diverse in their musical tastes

True.

[Dresta]

It's clearly someone like Beethoven or Mozart (who hasn't heard Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, ode to joy, 5th symphony etc.?). It is so ingrained into our culture that most people will have heard them without knowing what they are.Then if you account for the multitude of dead people who listened to them, Beethoven (or another classical composer) clearly wins.

The Beatles got this guys. Let's end the debate now.
