Biggest Band Numbers: Beatles, U2, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Green Day

When we spoke the other day about some people thinking Green Day was the biggest band ever and I thought it was surely The Beatles, we had a comment from Pat who showed us some numbers from results returned by Google for each of the biggest bands.

This is not the best way to find out who is the biggest band, but it is an interesting one, although Green Day could become the biggest band ever in time like many other newer bands.

Here is Pat’s comment:
Here’s the list of number of results returned by google. Now you tell me who is the biggest band.

“Beatles” - 55,800,000
“U2″ - 47,000,000
“Rolling Stones” - 9,890,000
“Pink Floyd” - 8,420,000
“Green Day” - 6,570,000
“The Who” - 6,550,000
“Led Zeppelin” - 4,940,000
“Iron Maiden” - 3,000,000
“Public Enemy” - 2,280,000

Look up anybody you want. Only U2 comes close to the Beatles and that’s probably because it’s also the name of a spy plane as well as only 2 letters that probably occurs millions of times having nothing to do with the band.

Now what do you make of that?
