Curious as to how the classifications between solo vs otherwise is done? Just found it interesting how Dave Matthews & Sade make the list, for example, whereas the likes of Santana & Bon Jovi don’t. All four are eponymous bands named after the band’s lead, but only two of the four qualify here.

I’m completely stunned that neither David Bowie or Cyndi Lauper have sold more than 10 million albums in the USA…
