Posted April 17, 201213 yr Yesterday (Monday, April 16) we revealed that, less than a year-and-a-half after their back catalogue was made available to download stores, The Beatles had broken the one million sales barrier for digital downloads. The move to bring The Fab Four’s music into the digital age came after the band’s label, Apple Corps, reached an agreement with iTunes owner Apple Computer in November, 2010, following a long running dispute between both firms as to who owns the rights to the name Apple in the music sector. As of midnight on Saturday (April 14), The Beatles had sold over a million digital tracks since 2010. The Fab Four’s most popular downloaded track is Hey Jude. Not far behind it is 1970’s Let It Be, while the George Harrison-penned Here Comes The Sun - which re-entered the Official Singles Chart at Number 58 on Sunday (April 15) after being featured in the latest Marks & Spencer TV advert - is in third place. 1962’s Twist And Shout and 1969’s Come Together complete the Top 5. You can see The Beatles' full Official Charts history here. The full Beatles Top 40 most downloaded tracks is as follows: 01 HEY JUDE 02 LET IT BE 03 HERE COMES THE SUN 04 TWIST AND SHOUT 05 COME TOGETHER 06 ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE 07 YESTERDAY 08 IN MY LIFE 09 HELP 10 BLACKBIRD 11 ELEANOR RIGBY 12 I SAW HER STANDING THERE 13 LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS 14 I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND 15 WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS 16 PENNY LANE 17 A HARD DAYS NIGHT 18 STRAWBERRY FIELDS 19 WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS 20 A DAY IN THE LIFE 21 YELLOW SUBMARINE 22 THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD 23 LOVE ME DO 24 I AM THE WALRUS 25 TICKET TO RIDE 26 SOMETHING 27 CAN'T BUY ME LOVE 28 SHE LOVES YOU 29 NORWEGIAN WOOD (THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN) 30 SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND 31 AND I LOVE HER 32 BACK IN THE USSR 33 HELLO GOODBYE 34 REVOLUTION 35 YOU'VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY 36 WHEN IM SIXTY FOUR 37 ALL MY LOVING 38 DRIVE MY CAR 39 EIGHT DAYS A WEEK 40 THE FOOL ON THE HILL © 2012 the Official Charts Company.

April 17, 201213 yr Brilliant top 2. Let It Be is my favourite though :wub: Also no Don't Let Me Down? Another of my faves
April 17, 201213 yr Interesting that the #1s 'From Me To You', 'I Feel Fine', 'Day Tripper' (and 'We Can Work It Out'), 'Paperback Writer', 'Lady Madonna', 'Get Back' and 'The Ballad Of John And Yoko' are nowhere to be seen in the top 40 while a multitude of songs never even released as singles are in there, most notably 'Here Comes The Sun'. And their biggest seller, 'She Loves You' is only their 28th most popular download. (Their other three million sellers are also only #14, #27 and as stated above 'I Feel Fine' isn't even top 40).

Suppose they were singles and were included on many greatest hits albums from the past including the 4 million selling 1 album in 2000!
April 20, 201213 yr Strangely no "Please Please Me". Astounding. To be honest, it's one of the Beatles tracks which has aged the most
