Hi Maneza F8 and welcome to the site! Stack Exchange is a little different from other websites --we're not really a forum for discussions, so open ended questions aren't a good fit here. We're really looking primarily for questions that potentially have one, well-defined answer, not list questions. For instance: "Which non-US rappers have appeared on the US Billboard music charts?" — Chris Sunami, Jun 13 at 19:00
Top all time selling artists include The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, AC/DC, Pink Floyd... probably more Rest Of The World than US. — Bebs, Jun 14 at 7:07
Elton john was on my mind when I was asking this question and artists like Adele, Ed Sheeran and the likes of Bob Marley. — Maneza F8, Jun 14 at 8:19

My favorite album from AC/DC is 'Back In Black'. But they have a lot of good songs! – SkyPaul Jun 14 at 12:32
