I read an article in a newspaper a few years ago that stated Roger Whittaker is the world's biggest selling artiste of all time.
Is this true?
The Guinness Book of Hit records states he has sold 10 million albums in Germany alone.

Germany is a large market for Roger Whittaker; in 1985, he was acclaimed as the country's most successful recording artist, singing in the German language, a distinction no other major international record star could claim.

Those 10 million record sales occured within the last decade alone of his 36 years as a world renowned singer.

Worldwide he has sold over 55 million albums. As a comparison Elvis Presley has sold over 200 million worldwide.
???????????????????

I've never heard of him!!!!!
WTF!!!!!

Well, maybe. Wikipedia doesn't list him as such, but they admit their lists are complete. And Kempie could well be right- Germans will, music wise, buy almost anything. The Hoff, anyone?
Hey, don't you go dissing The Hoff. ;-)
Garth Brooks has sold over 115 million albums in the US alone so he must be up near the top i guess! Not my cup of tea but he must be doing something right!
Roger whittaker the whistler?
James Last has sold well in excess of over 100 million albums so he's up there too
