Here I shall post the best-selling acts in Canada, with their best-selling album and years active, with a few other chart feats!
To qualify for entry into this top 10 list, an act must've shipped over 7,500,000 albums across Canada. Please note, this is just a preliminary list at the moment, and acts shall be updated/added as new information becomes available. This is particularly the case with Elvis Presley.

Total album sales: 9,500,000*
Biggest selling album: Thriller - 3,300,000
*His total album sales are bound to increase in the coming weeks. It shouldn't be too long before he crosses the 10m threshold and jumps into third place
#06 - Elvis Presley

Total album sales: 9,500,000+*
Biggest selling album: ??
*Elvis' sales trajectory is so vast that it would be almost impossible to put a number on how much he has actually shipped in Canada. Most of his releases have scanned between 200-400k copies but his career peak arguably came before the Canadian charts were set up, and so we'll never know his true sales. I'd say he has sold 9.5m+ with the numbers we have got.
