Aerosmith is a very successful band, and I have made this page to show just how successful they were and are. They are the 8th bestselling band of all-time, selling over 54 million records. They have 21 gold records, 15 platinum records, and 11 multi-platinum ones. I have set up the chart below to show which of their records are gold, platinum, and multi-platinum. In case you didn't know, gold is 500,000 records sold, platinum is 1 million, and multi-platinum is at least 2 million. I am also happy to report that every Aerosmith album and video has at least gone gold. Also the band's newest release A Little South of Sanity has already gone platinum, and Nine Lives has already gone multi-platinum. Aerosmith also has 4 listings in the Top 100 bestselling albums ever. Greatest Hits, Pump, Get A Grip, and Permanent Vacation. It's also worth noting that Walk This Way the autobiography was a New York Times bestseller, and sold enough to be released in paperback.

Note: If anyone has any of the same kind of info as I have for the following singles for the Aero albums then that would be greatly appreciated as well. If I am missing any singles tell me that as well. And of course, tell me if I made a mistake.
