Who Run The World? The Top 10 Best Selling Girl Groups Of All Time
6. The Supremes
To say that The Supremes are, to date, still one of the top-selling girl groups of all time, speaks volumes about their talents. Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard were originally a quartet with Betty McGlown and were known as The Primettes in their native Detroit. Back in 1959 Motown executive Barry Gordy helped mold the trio that emerged as The Supremes. The women’s hit-making abilities proved legendary as they scored 12 number one singles including “Where Did Our Love Go” and “Love Child.” Over time the iconic group sold more than 20 million records – the real number is probably more considering Nielsen Soundscan didn’t start tracking record sales til the 1990s.
