Sales are another topic☜If one is arguing the financial standing of the two groups, then this is definitely valid. However, debating the two groups as musicians, if you are using this to support your claim, this is a bandwagon fallacy if I ever saw one.☜FFFACD

Record Sales
Record Sales ☜When it comes to cold, hard sales, The Beatles trump The Rolling Stones comfortably. Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band has sold 32 million copies globally, compared with The Stones’ top offering – their greatest hits, Hot Rocks - has sold a mere 12 million in comparison. ☜FFFACD
