The already ten times platinum LP release ‘1’ has gone straight to the No 10 spot in the general charts here, after its iTunes release just last week – showing the market power the fab four still have, years later.
But its not just Australia where the Beetles are doing the business – Lennon and Co have also gone straight to No 1 in iTunes charts in US, Japan , UK and several Euro nations.
1 was first released in 2000 and spent nine weeks at No. 1 in Australia, with 27 hit tunes like She Love You, A Hard Day’s Night and Can’t Buy Me Love. It costs $17.99.
