Beatles downloads top five million
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 17 January 2011
The Beatles may have failed to dominate the music charts the week their back catalogue finally reached iTunes last year – as many had previously predicted – but their digital tunes are, nevertheless, selling pretty darn well via the Apple download platform.
Apple Inc and EMI announced last week that there have already been five million single downloads and one million album downloads of The Beatles music since it went live on iTunes last November.
Interestingly, perhaps, ‘Abbey Road’ is the best selling Beatles album on iTunes so far, while a track from it, the George Harrison-penned ‘Here Comes The Sun’, is the most downloaded track, ahead of ‘Hey Jude’, ‘Yesterday’ and ‘In My Life’.
