This is the list of the top 100 best-selling music artists in the United States only as of December 2008 and based on certifications of albums by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The RIAA does not deal in sales of albums, only certifications of shipped units. Therefore this best-selling list is based on total accumulated certifications given per artist and may not reflect the true physical sales obtained by these artists. The RIAA began its certifications in 1952. This list therefore excludes large-selling artists like Bing Crosby whose sales in the 1930s-1950s were not certified. Also affected are artists such as Frank Sinatra, who although they were successful after 1952, were also best-selling prior to 1952. Therefore their positions in the chart reflect certifications from 1952 onwards.
