Question
What is The Beatles global gross album sales to date?

Answer
The Beatles released their first single on October 5, 1962 (Love Me Do/  P.S. I Love You)
They then released the single "Please Please Me/ Ask Me Why" on Jan 11. 1963. Their first two albums (Please Please Me released Mar. 22, 1963 and With The Beatles released Nov 22, 1963) were sold in England and were selling very well, however I do not have those sales numbers. In America, the first album released was called "Introducing The Beatles" which came out on July 22, 1963. They didn't really make an impact in the U.S. until the second U.S. album - "Meet The Beatles" was released January 20, 1964. The first song on this album hit number one soon after the album came out, and just days away from them flying over to perform on the Ed Sullivan Show here in America.
The U.S. Beatles albums were slightly altered from the United Kingdom versions, as Capitol records (which was here in the states) removed a few songs from the original versions to make extra albums here to make some more money (Something New, Yesterday...And Today, Hey Jude).
In 1964, the Beatles had the never matched total of 15 U.S. million-selling records (9 singles and 6 LPs), representing U.S. sales of over 25 million.
"I Want To Hold Your Hand" sold almost 5 million records in the US by 1968, making it the best selling single of the 1960's (from a Capitol Records Press Release, Sept, 9, 1968).
 By August 1964, the Beatles had sold approximately 80 million records globally *Variety 235, August 12, 1964).
"Rubber Soul" sold 1.2 million copies in the U.S. during the first 9 days of its release (Billboard article, January 1, 1966).
 By May 1967, the Beatles' global gross stood at $98 million (Variety 246, May 19, 1967).
 The "Hey Jude" single had sold over 3 million copies in America in its first 2 months of release, and 3.7 million by mid-January 1969. It eventually sold over 4 million copies and was the fourth best-selling single of the 1960s (Spizer, Bruce, 2003: The Beatles on Apple Records, p. 32).
  Although it carried a list price of $11.79, their double album The Beatles sold 1.1 million units during its first two weeks on sale; a record for any double album up to that point in time (Spizer, Bruce, 2003: The Beatles on Apple Records, p. 102).
"Abbey Road" sold over 3 million copies in the US in a little over a month, making it one of the best-selling LPs of the 1960s despite having been on sale for only the last three months of the decade (Spizer, Bruce, 2003: The Beatles on Apple Records, p. 164).
 According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Beatles had topped worldwide sales of 300 million units by 1969.
 The "Let It Be" LP reportedly shipped 3.2 million copies in 13 days representing a gross retail value of nearly $26 million (Billboard article, June 6, 1970).
 By October 1972, the Beatles’ worldwide sales total stood at 545 million units, a world record (Billboard 84, October 21, 1972).
