I wonder how they compare once "normalized" for population
and purchasing power of the dollar.

perhaps then there might be a more accurate comparison as to who is the king

In the same sense "Gone With The Wind" is probably still the number 1 movie.

I was thinking the same thing. There's no way he compares to the king. It just isn't possible. Curt wasn't around long enough to be that big. Although I never went to a Nirvana concert. But I just can't believe he could measure up. There's probably only an age group that spans 6 years that went nuts over Nirvana. Elvis drove them nuts for 15 years and an intense fan base whose ages spanned maybe 35 years.
