Last week Garth Brooks became the largest selling solo act of all
time, replacing the King.
Secondly Jay-Z's 'American Gangster' matched Elvis's ten number 1 albums.(Both 2nd behind the Beatles with 19).

It doesn't feel right that someone surpasses Elvis and/or The Beatles in terms of sales.
Understandable considering they haven't put out new material for 37 & 30 years respectively, but nevertheless wrong. :?
Bit like breaking Bradman's records. :(

Maybe not "brand new", but new material nonetheless, and released much more recently than 30 years ago.
