The Beatles Abbey Road at #3 on Billboard album charts!!!

Probably because the price of 1 CD is considerably less than the price of 4 CDs...

 

But if you ready had the 4, why bother.

 

Because not everybody bought the 4 because... price.

[Not to mention the convenience of 1 disc vs. 4... I want to hear Yesterday, which disc is that on, again...?]

 

Sure great for very casual fans and newcomers, just saying a lot of people already had the other collections, if they didn't there would be more potential sales.

 

Abbey Road moved up 29 places to number 16 this week!

 

It's the perfect gift for all your music-loving boomer friends....

 

That move is also on the strength of vinyl sales...

 

Paul must have died AGAIN...

 

77 IF

 

I think it should be 78 IF.

 

78 as IF

 

DAMN! It’s been out (again) how many weeks now? And yet, in terms of true “SALES”, it’s #4 this week. Amazing...

 

Like I said [or rather implied], all those Black Friday/Cyber Monday shoppers were probably thinking:

 

BTW, I was in Target yesterday looking for the new Who release [which was not on the shelves], and saw a [relatively] big display of Abbey Road.


Get with the times, retailers... [Abbey Road was so October...]

 

Remixed vinyl was $15 on Black Friday and the days following.

I bought a copy. Damn it.

 

#29 on Billboard

 

How many copies sold does that translate to? Any idea?

The amount sold may be remarkably low (say, 2000 copies), but it is still amazing that people keep purchasing it nonstop, year after year.

 

I'll guess and say 1909

 

The previous week, AR sold 14.5k and had another 5.5k in SEA/TEA for roughly 20,000 units. It was #29 that week, also on Billboard.
"Who" (2019) - New Who Album Coming 06-Dec-19*

Note: Sales according to HDD - HDD always goes on vacation the final week of Dec, so we’ll have to guess for last week.

 

Here Comes the Sun -- every guitar player young or old wants to learn how to play that song. that's why it is top streamed Beatles song.

 

It was a good week for the Mop Tops...

Abbey Road #29
Power to the People: The Hits (John Lennon) #87
Beatles "1" #109
Sgt. Pepper #126
McCartney ll # 144
White Album # 176

Top 200 Albums | Billboard 200 chart

 

McCartney II because it has "Wonderful Christmastime" as a bonus track!! Otherwise, it would not be re-entering the charts.

 

The One BEFORE 909???

 

Close enough!

 

Exactly...just like last year, which is still strange. It's only available on the 2-disc archive, Hear Music archive edition, and I don't even know how readily available that is anymore. Regardless, same with the Lennon htis comp, because it has "Happy Xmas".
