Accoring to a French Music Magazine, Marvin sold 58 million albums between 1964 and 2008 internationally.

During his lifetime, Marvin Gaye scored 40 US Top 40 Hits on Billboard Charts as well as dozens of hitsingles on an international level. Motown reported no less than 14 Marvin Gaye gold singles plus Sexual Healing on Columbia in '82/83. At least five singles achieved two-million plus sales in the U.S. : I Heard It Through The Grapevine 1968 (nearly 4 million), Let´s Get It On (over 4 million), What´s Going On, Got To Give It Up Pt. I, and Sexual Healing in excess of two-million plus records, respectively. Therefore, it is highly likely that Marvin Gaye sold a total of over 100 million records before and after his death in 1984.
