With over 80,000,000 records sold, they remain Japan's top-selling music act of all time and hold more records than any other artist. Among their accomplishments are having the most singles sold, the most albums sold, the most number one singles, and the most music home videos sold, which regularly topped the charts of all home videos of any sort for a given year.
