Ah the Beatles, I can still remember seeing Help in the movie theater when it was first shown and it would have been a lot of fun except for all the silly girls screaming all over the place. The band has been a icon of our society and the music we listen to and even though there music has yet to make it into the digital world but that is about to change with the upcoming release of The Beatles: Rock Band game. Of course with the Sept. 9 Apple conference there are also the never ending rumors that The Beatles might finally be coming to iTunes.
So it is interesting in light of this that The Official Chart Company – who puts together the weekly Top 40 in England – has come up with a list of 30 of the band’s top selling songs. There will probably be a few surprises in this list for some people.
1 She Loves You 2 I Want To Hold Your Hand 3 Can’t Buy Me Love 4 I Feel Fine 5 Day Tripper/We Can Work it Out 6 Hey Jude 7 From Me to You 8 Help! 9 Hello, Goodbye 10 Get Back 11 Paperback Writer 12 All You Need Is Love 13 Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby 14 Ticket to Ride 15 Magical Mystery Tour EP 16 A Hard Day’s Night 17 Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever 18 Lady Madonna 19 Love Me Do 20 Please Please Me 21 The Ballad of John and Yoko 22 Let It Be 23 Free as a Bird 24 Something/Come Together 25 .Beatles Movie Medley 26 Yesterday 27 Real Love 28 Baby It’s You 29 Back In the USSR 30 Strawberry Fields Forever (re-issue)
Personally being an album person it’s a toss up between Revolver and the White Album.
