I'm no Garth Brooks fan, and love Radiohead, but ....

Garth Brooks still continues to sell well and according to Nielsen Soundscan, his albums sales through October 2011 are at 68,561,000, which makes him the best-selling albums artist in the United States in the SoundScan era (since 1991), a title held since 1991, well over 5 million ahead of his nearest rival, The Beatles

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Inch_Nails

Radiohead have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide

Nine Inch Nails recordings have won Grammy Awards; and their entire catalog has reached record sales exceeding over 30 million albums worldwide

So the guy has essentially sold more albums than Radiohead + NIN put together.
