The Iconic Albums of The Beatles Experience Resurgence in Popularity
Not many musical groups have shifted as many albums as The Beatles. This iconic band secured a spot among the music industry's heavyweights the moment they burst onto the scene, and their popularity has remained unwavering, with their albums continually selling, whether they're studio albums or compilations of their greatest hits. To this day, they continue to sell exceptionally well, especially in their homeland.
Two of The Beatles' releases make a comeback on the UK charts this week. These evergreen offerings have managed to capture the interest of listeners once more, earning positions on two different charts due to their enduring popularity.
One of their biggest compilations, 1, reclaims its place on the charts, outperforming the other returning album by The Beatles. This set makes a mark on the Official Albums Streaming ranking, debuting at No. 43, and also returns to the main roster of the most-consumed albums in the UK, where it enters at No. 55.
The legendary album, Abbey Road, also reemerges on two charts in the UK, making a comeback on both the Official Physical Albums ranking, where it lands at No. 80, and the Official Albums Sales roster, where it settles in at No. 81.
Of the two, only 1 holds a spot on a third chart. This greatest hits collection, released in 2000, slips from No. 53 to No. 91 on the Official Album Downloads chart, with an impressive 499-stay count.
Interestingly, 1 has only claimed the top spot on one of the three charts it features on this week. This compilation has previously reignited the band's reign on the list of the most-consumed albums, extending their list of victories years after their disbandment. On the other hand, Abbey Road has maintained its dominance on the two lists it graces this frame.
The Beatles' success extends to the UK's chart for songs, as they boast three hits that continue to thrive across various lists. Notably, "I Want To Hold Your Hand" inches closer to the top 10 on both the Official Vinyl Singles (No. 12) and Official Physical Singles (No. 13) charts.
