July 23, 200915 yr I read that as Top 10 Beatles Album Tracks just now... it would be interesting to know which non-single Beatles tracks were the most played...

I'm asking for a very good reason - to do with September. I'll give more details, when I know them. I'll make sure that it is known that you provided the above Data, & that you got it from a Beatles Forum. By the way, (as you have pointed out), the Totals of the Top 3* Albums, are their exact UK Sales, to January 3rd this Year. So, someone must have got those 3 from a Contact at the OCC. (The Virgin 'Hit Albums' Book only gives their 'Rounded' Totals, to that Date). *** = Actually, the Sale for '1' is a little too high. It was on 2,800,463 UK Sales by 3rd January. so, The Beatles Forum has given it just under 5,000 too many Sales, to that date. Edited July 23, 200915 yr by zeus555

July 24, 200915 yr This really sold *only* 1.15m? It was #1 for *THIRTY* weeks...! Yes but remember that LP's didn't sell as many then.
