Many singers and bands sell lots of music around the world. Some sell over 75 million songs. There is no group that counts all the music sales in the world. People make lists that show how much music each singer or band sells. They put the biggest sellers at the top of the list. Sometimes they use music that you can download or videos to count how much is sold. From 2016, when people listen to songs on the internet, it counts like selling songs. This makes some new singers and bands have big numbers. But it can make the numbers look bigger than they are. For example, Rihanna's song "We Found Love" was counted as selling nine times more than it did. When bands make albums with many songs, they can also have bigger numbers than they say. This is because each song in the album is counted like a sold song.

Many people like to listen to music online. They use music streaming services. These services let you listen to many songs and podcasts on your computer or phone. You need to pay every month to listen to everything. But some music services let you listen for free with ads. You can find new songs that you might like. The service looks at the songs you listen to and tells you about other good songs. You can also make lists of your favorite songs and share them with friends. Music streaming is very popular now. More people use it to listen to music than buying songs. People like streaming because it is easy. You can find lots of songs, and it is not too expensive. But some music makers say they do not get a lot of money when their music is on these services. Before streaming, people started sharing music online around the year 2000. Musicians put their songs on the internet for others to download. This was a new way to listen to music. Now, with streaming, music is even easier to enjoy.
