"has sold over 95 million albums worldwide"
editI've removed this claim because there is no reliable source confirming this number. Universal Music said the band has sold over 50 million records worldwide as of 2018,[1][2] so it's highly unlikely that they sold 40 million more albums in the past 6 years. All the links used as reference for these numbers seem to have taken this info from Wikipedia whether it said it was 60 or 70 million albums sold, and those numbers were added here without a source after January 2019, while the references used here such as Time Out are from 2020 or 2021.
Those inflated numbers are often added by IPs without a source:
