I wouldn't base any arguments on album sales. Look at the post John Daubert started and see how far down Dylan falls on the list.
The thing that makes Elvis, Dylan, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson the icons they are is (in my opinion) not so much album sales but how they influenced the direction of music. Specifically, how they influenced other artists and the music business in general.
To deny that Michael Jackson did not do this in the early 80's seems just plain silly to me. I wasn't a huge fan (though I did respect his abilities) but, man, it seems like it ought to be obvious to anyone paying any attention during that time period.

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
