Think about this...

The highest-selling country artist of all-time has only been on the scene for about a decade and that artist is... Morgan Wallen.

His EP came out in 2016 and his debut album in 2018 and since that time, he has become the highest-selling country artist of all-time, beating our superstars like George Strait and Garth Brooks.

According to the RIAA, the Recording Industry Association of America, here are the Top 10 artists along with how many units they’ve sold:

1. Morgan Wallen: 242 million

2. Garth Brooks: 200.5 million

3. Luke Combs: 163.5 million

4. Luke Bryan: 126 million
