Elvis tops the list as the best selling solo artist of all time. But, to your question about a band, The Fab Four top the list.
In their eight years recording together, The Fab Four from Liverpool recorded a total of 12 original albums, finding immense success all over the world. They sold over 750 million albums.
The Guinness World Records have claimed The Beatles have the biggest all-times sales for a band. This is based on an accumulative sales figure provided by their record company EMI who claim they have sold over a billion records by 1985. Neither EMI or the Guinness World Records have specified if the 1 billion sales figure is accumulative of each Beatle's solo careers on top of their group sales, or just their group sales.
Although The Beatles disbanded in 1970, since that time singles and albums have continued to chart well, especially for a band that have disbanded. Between 1990 and 2005 alone they charted no fewer than five different Number 1 albums on the UK and US charts.
