Mozart sold more CDs in 2016 than Beyoncé, Drake, Adele, and Kanye West.
The question that Mozart sold more CDs in 2016 than Beyoncé, Drake, Adele, and Kanye West is true.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the best musical artist of 1782, outsold Drake, Adele, Kanye West and Beyoncé in 2016. Mozart's music was sold on more CDs and surpassed the CD sales of any artists just mentioned in the first line. In fact "Mozart 225: The New Complete Edition" sold a total of 1.25 million CDs during the first five weeks after it was released. This is according to the Universal Music Group via Billboard.
With the CD set’s total running time, it comes to 240 hours of music, with over 600 international soloists and 60 orchestras involved in the recording process. The project was produced by Deutsche Grammophon and Decca as a collaboration with the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation. This anthology was one that contained every musical work ever written by the famed Austrian composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). It appropriately managed to beat 2016 hit albums from many very good to great music stars.
