I’d guess he sells about the same. Nobody has cared about Stones albums for about 50 years.

Not sure how you get that idea, based on the wikipedia articles, it seems like if there's an artist people don't give a rat's ass about of those two, it's (unfortunately) MK.
I don't get this whole "let's drag everyone else down because MaRk KnOpFlEr Is ThE mAsTeR"-bullcrap. Just because we're in a fan forum doesn't mean that any other artist is objectively worse...
No need to take offence, it's just my perception that for a long time now the Stones have been seen primarily as a legacy "greatest hits" live act and nobody really rates their studio work. Every new album seems to be marketed as "their best since Black and Blue", acknowledging that the releases since then havn't been much cop.
I'm just listening to the BIA Atmos mix in Amazon Music with a new pair of JBL headphones and wow...
You can spot the real difference in songs like Your Latest Trick, where I'm listening stuff I never noticed before, Why Worry is also out of this world, but the start of Ride Across the River is amazing, all the percussion noises are quite separated as indepent objects and, despite I'm listening to it on stereo headphones is as there are sounds I never ever heard before, also the songs are a little longer with longer fade outs than before.
All the percussion sounds during One World are amazing, never heard them! Lot of great things here and there.
The synths at the start of BIA are wow, almost Floydian.
I also would say Guy mixed some sounds in a higher volumen than in the original mix so stuff that was buried originally now can be heard. That, or the objects technology in atmos makes everything more present in the mix even with headphones.
This mix is really something, I will get an Echo Studio speaker probably this week to try this atmos mixes properly and will tell you, but just with the headphones is something worth to listen!
