It's just weird cause I've never seen stats like this for Bon Jovi...
These are the highest grossing artists of the past decade, including concert and CD sales -
#1 Celine Dion - $747.9 milion #2 Kenny Chesney - $742 million #3 Dave Matthews Band - $737.4 million #4 The Beatles - $627.3 million #5 U2 - $609.7 million #6 Toby Keith - $591.9 million #7 Bruce Springsteen - $588.3 million #8 The Rolling Stones - $569.6 million #9 Tim McGraw - $550.7 million #10 Britney Spears - $494.3 million
When I looked up highest grossing concert tours of 2009, the list included U2 at #1, AC/DC at #5, Dave Matthews Band at #8, Fleetwood Mac at #9, Metallica at #10, Nickelback at #11, and Coldplay at #19, with no mention anywhere of Bon Jovi

It is important to note that Bon Jovi, as extraordinarily successful as they are with consistently strong record sales overall, nonetheless hasn't had a breakout record quite like "Slippery When Wet" or "New Jersey" this decade. Their best-selling album this past decade was "Crush", which went double-platinum. Secondly, I'm assuming that's domestic totals only. Find an international chart, and it's quite likely you're going to get a much more impressive standing for Bon Jovi. I imagine in terms of record sales they would close the gap with most other artists on the tally. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

These are the best-selling music artists of all time (worldwide), according to Wikipedia... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_music_artistsIf you just single out the rock bands, the list looks like this (and these are WORLDWIDE sales)... #1 The Beatles #2 ABBA #3 Led Zeppelin #4 Queen #5 AC/DC #6 The Bee Gees #7 Pink Floyd #8 The Rolling Stones #9 Aerosmith #10 Genesis #11 U2 #12 Bon Jovi These rankings aren't based on a poll, they're based on the people worldwide who actually went out and bought the CDs - Just seems like there are a lot of people giving Bon Jovi a lot of "hype" (Billboard, People's Choice, VH1, etc.), which just makes me think that they're a popular band with a lot of friends in the music business, and a lot of videos showing off how many fans they have If you look at U. S. CD sales (since PMB is based on U. S. airplay), Bon Jovi ranks as the 18th biggest selling rock band of all time en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_music_artists_in_the_United_StatesSingling out the rock bands, #1 The Beatles #2 Led Zeppelin #3 The Eagles #4 Pink Floyd #5 AC/DC #6 Aerosmith #7 The Rolling Stones #8 Metallica #9 Van Halen #10 U2 #11 Fleetwood Mac #12 Journey #13 Guns 'N' Roses #14 Santana #15 Chicago #16 Foreigner #17 Def Leppard #18 Bon Jovi Def Leppard has even sold more CDs in the U. S. than Bon Jovi! Also really can't believe how Billboard set aside a special issue dedicated to how many CDs Bon Jovi has sold, when clearly there's 11 bands that have sold more worldwide, and 17 bands that have sold more in the U. S.
