Has any Texan sold more albums than he has?

And the ironic part is he was mostly broke all his life because Jim steinman actually got all the royalties for the music.



George Strait or Willie Nelson?

His name was Robert Paulson. His name was Robert Paulson.


I had no idea he was from Dallas. Interesting guy. 74 is too young.

Wikipedia says it's Beyonce. Your source is likely counting Beyonce and Destiny's Child separately.

To this day, Bat Out Of Hell sits in the top 10 all time for record sales.

Jim Steinman could write them and Meat Loaf could sing them. He had an amazing vocal range.

Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun.
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike.
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell.
And the last thing I see is my heart
Still beating,
Breaking out of my body and flying away,
Like a bat out of hell.

Apologies, don't mean to derail but out of all the great bands and music that came from Washington state and Kenny ****ing G is the one who sold the most albums???

Anyway, RIP Meatloaf. His name is Robert Paulson.

Meatloaf's real name was Michal Aday... he lived outside of Austin just off Hamilton Pool Road.

I had some dealings with him 4-5 years ago... one of the strangest people I ever me & I can only assume he had some pretty bad mental issues from the irrational way he acted. His house was a virtual compound, high walls & a huge gate (inside an already gated community no less).

Great singer, but as the case with many celebrities, off stage they are absolute train wrecks.

I mean his struggle with addiction and depression is pretty well chronicled as well as his dysfunctional up-bringing. His dad was a drunk that literally tried to murder Meat Loaf when he was like 16 or something. Definitely would mess anyone up and i could see why he'd want to build walls around his house. Dude's life was anything but secure as a kid.

I googled

She has sold between her solo career and Destiny's Child over 170 million albums.

Her solo career alone has sold more than George Strait.

It's right there in the song, in the lyrics. It always has been.

That map only looks at US album sales through 2017. Beyonce had only sold 15 million units in US at that time. That over 100 million number is for world wide sales.
