    Which solo artist has sold the most amount of records in a single year?

    Question #93783. Asked by billythebrit. (Mar 22 08 11:21 AM)

    		Not sure if this answers your question but,

    Most Top 40 Hits in One Year was 19 - by Michael Jackson (as of w/e 8th July 2006). These were part of a commemorative sequence of releases. Furthermore, two other singles of 2006 sampled him: "Say Say Say" by Hi-Tack and "Somebody's Watching Me" by Beatfreakz (which sampled Jackson's vocal contribution to Rockwell's 1984 hit of the same title).


    Also, the record for most new Top 40 hits in one year is 12; held jointly by Elvis Presley (in 1957) and The Wedding Present (1992).

    		Okay, this is clearer Candian artist Shania Twain’s Come on Over set the record for most albums sold in one year with 15.4 million copies.
