"... he has sold more than 90 million mainly instrumental records"

It's gone up 10 million from the 'usual' total

Record sales for Beatles Elvis Madonna Michael Jackson Rolling Stones Elton John are all guesses there's no concrete way calculate.
I reckon everyone of them can 1/2 the amount of claimed record sales.

For an Electronic Musician with only 1 top 10 hit single, no major movie soundtracks, no marketing exposure as other big name musicians, it's quite something to have sold 40million records.
I'm 1/2 the claimed 80million same as I would 1/2 for other major musicians.
