As what might be a surprise to some , The Wiggles , the children ’ s music group formed in Sydney in the early 90s , ranks very high on this list . Current members Emma Watkins , Simon Pryce and Lachlan Gillespie have replaced original members Phillip Wilcher , Murray Cook , Greg Page and Jeff Fatt , but the tone and presentation of the group is much of the same . Original member Anthony Field has also stayed on to join current members .
The Australian band entertains young children all over the world with their children ’ s albums , videos , television series and concert appearances . The group even has sections in amusement parks in Australia and the United States . They ’ ve sold over 17 million DVDs and four million CDs ; those mediums have earned them 17 gold , 12 platinum , three double platinum and ten multi-platinum awards in sales . The Wiggles come in with $ 18.2 million in earnings in 2013 .
