I don't know about sales figures for The Who, but I have accurate figures
for Led Zeppelin (U.S. sales):
_Led Zeppelin I_ 4 million
_Led Zeppelin II_ 6 million
_Led Zeppelin III_ 3 million
_Led Zeppelin IV_ 16 million*
_Houses Of The Holy_ 6 million
_Physical Graffiti_ 4 million
_Presence_ 2 million
_"The Song Remains The Same"_ (Live) 2 million
_In Through The Out Door_ 5 million
_Coda_ 1 million
BOXED SETS:
_Led Zeppelin_ (4-discs) 4 million**
_Remasters_ (3-discs) 500,000
_Boxed Set 2_ (2-discs) 500,000
* 4th highest selling album of all time
** highest selling boxed set of all time
TOTAL (not including boxed sets): 49 million (#6 all time)
TOTAL (including boxed sets): 54 million+ (#4 all time)
Sorry for the lack of Who content, but somebody wanted to know. Now, if
somebody else knew the Who figures we could compare.
Later,
Scott
