Question
Which of the individual Beatles sold the most albums/cds since the Beatles broke up

Answer
Hi David, and thanks for your question.

According to the Recording Industry Association of America, Paul McCartney has sold 14 millions CDs with John following closely with 13.5 million sold and George with 10.5. Ringo wasn't listed. But keep in mind, these sales only include the U.S.,  so they are only a fraction of the total worldwide sales. I hope I answered your question. Thanks again, and long live the Beatles.

Expertise

I have a somewhat elaborate knowledge of the band`s music and history, from their Hamburg beginnings to their demise in 1970, as well as secondary information from the post-Beatle years.

Experience

I can answer most questions about the Beatles themselves and their albums, as well as some information about the post-Beatle years. I do NOT, however, specialize in concert dates or Beatle memoribilia (i.e. special collector's items, etc.).
