The '''world's best-selling music artists''' cannot be listed officially, as there is no organization that has recorded global music sales in the manner that the [[RIAA]] does in the [[United States of America|United States]]. This page lists those artists who have madehad claims made to be among the top sellers.

Within their sales brackets, '''artists are listed in alphabetical order''', rather than by number of records sold. Equal weight is given to [[album]] and [[single (music)|single]] sales, as well as paid [[download]]s. Sources are typically fan sites, record labels, newspaper articles or manual addition of figures from various official sources. This means that these figures should be considered ''claims'', not ''facts''.
