    Who is India's top MD based on albums sold?

    I mean the overall accumulated sales figure of all the albums released by a single MD. Consider a MD who has composed 25 albums in his career and we have to sum of the sales figures of each and every album of him.

    Whose albums soled more?

    The answer is?

    MSV or Ilaiyaraja or AR Rahman or SEL or Anu malik or RD Burman?

    we cant get the figures for IR sadly......we used to have the recorded echo or TDK cassettes before ARR's invent into TFM.......so cant really say.....

    ARR is at 28 in all time list of best selling artistes for whole world......maybe 100 million according to them....

    Easiest way to calculate for IR is get his income tax reports for every year or Echo's sales revenue and net out IR only albums some how..
