Elvis never performed in the countries that MJ did.. AND Elvis ripped a lot of his songs off from black artists and got credited for it himself.
AND did a whole lot of remakes from black artists and were NOT HIS ORGINAL songs.. MICHAEL WROTE HIS CHIT AND DIDNT' STEAL FROM NOBODY.. Michael Jackson was the first singer from America and Europe to perform in Asia. His world tours had the largest scale and attracted the most number of audience in the history.
Michael was awarded total 8 cert

Lol at people just guessing. Michael Jackson has the highest selling single album of all-time with Thriller, but Elvis Presley has sold over 1 billion records total. Elvis also has 147 singles and albums that have been certified gold. The Beatles and Michael Jackson are #2 and #3 (respectively), both selling over 750 million total.

Means nothing. The point is elvis was not a great entertainer.. Elvis never performed in the countries that mj did.. And elvis ripped a lot of his songs off from black artists and got credited for it himself.
And did a whole lot of remakes from black artists and were not his orginal songs.. Michael wrote his chit and didnt' steal from nobody.. Michael jackson was the first singer from america and europe to perform in asia. His world tours had the largest scale and attracted the most number

That is a great comment and i agree with you most people here are just saying mj becuase they like his songs and dont know the truth.
Sorry to all michael jackson fans. I am sorry he is dead, but elvis has sold the most records of all time over 1.3 billion!!! People keep saying that michael jackson paved the way for many artist. That is true. But it is also true that if it were not for elvis, michael jackson may not have been around either!!!!! Elvis came before him. Some artist like chuck berry came before elvis, but it was elvis who set the world on fire!!!!

Michael was awarded total 8 certificates of the world record by Guinness, including the best seller “Thriller”, the first artist who sold over 100 million albums outside the United States, the first artist who had an annual income over 100 million dollars and many others. Michael Jackson a special certificate -world’s most successful artist I think Michael was more famous than Elvis I think he had a much larger fan base that covered the whole world

Eivis is not the greatest entertainer in the world.. Michael jackson is and will always be.. Elvis couldn't dance so he's just a singer, michael is an entertainer..
Hey you have to see though mj was 2009 and elvis was 1978 so oviously mj danced better and in 1978 he wasnt aloud to dance like he did so i wouldnt be writing a comment like you did if you dont know what happened.

Pretty sure it is elvis. Beatles were good but from what ive seen only 250-300 million copy's, they were popular, but apparently not enough, elvis was one of the people that made rock famous. Sadly the fake hip hop stuff has taken over and now barely anyone listens to rock over the stuff. Elvis has apparently sold 1.3 billion albums worldwide.

Elvis have sold over 1 billion copy's, but common...
Michael Jackson have sold more then twice what Elvis sold when still alive!
You really think elvis is gonna keep away when the music Michael Jackson never released will be? Michael Jackson DID plan what was suppose to happened after hes death for sure, and also with elvis in mind!
Just wait a couple of months, and Michael Jackson will release a brand new album!
And that album might even sell more then anything ever sold before due to hes death...
Just take a look at the charts now, Michael has 5-7 top 10 album sales world wide for last month, and those sales is 99% sold in 5 days... He even have 3-5 top ten singles sales in the same period... Have you ever seen that from elvis??? Or beatles???

Elvis didn't set the world on fire! Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Beatles are regarded as the greatest singers in the modern history of the Pop Music, Michael Jackson has shown greater achievements than other two. He successfully broke all the records maintained by Presley and Beatles, becoming an indisputable super giant. Michael Jackson maintained a Guinness record of charity. He supported 39 different charity organizations and foundations. He is the person who made the most donations in the world.

Ya but were not talking about organizations here we are talking about who sold the must albums no one gives about that. Thriller sold a lot but thats one and in total he sold about 750 million all his albums. He had a big fan base but if you would see all the elderly people who loved him you will see what these people who research know what they r talking about.

Wow! I can't believe how stupid and belligerent people are on this thing - as if it matters! They were all big time performers and any cries of "Such and such was the greatest performer of all time" is just silly opinion as if you are cheering for some stupid football team. Grow up. There are many artists whose technical skill at playing their instruments or recording techniques or whatever completely blow the Beatles, Elvis, and Michael Jackson out of the water. Therefore trying to stand behind an artist's merit in their accomplishments based on album sales is moronic. Many cruddy performers get to the top of the charts based on promotion and stupid celebrity politics, while genius performers and modern day Mozarts lurk in the underground. Don't be blinded by the hype. Open your eyes and wash your ears out and go enjoy the variety that is in the world of music.
The question was: Who sold the most albums in the world, and it has been answered.

I think that Elvis Presley was the greatest entertainer of all time. I'm not saying MJ wasnt as good as him because they were both great in their own styles. MJ, Elvis and The Beatles are all greats and shall forever remain that way but if i had to chose then i would say Elvis because i have never heard any1 say MJ sold over a billion records, i've only here them say he sold more. Plus the charts didnt start til 1959 and therefore the songs Elvis had before could have had a much bigger impact.
But i agree with the guy who left a comment 2 comments ago. The is so much unknown artists who r just as good but not as popular. Mon The Strokes!
