That's just the way it is with the Beatles, they tend to supercede everybody else. :)

^Indeed.
I don't see the 1 album- but, it's not like those songs aren't available on other releases.

I'm sorry, but I don't think the impact will be THAT huge and certainly nothing compared to Michael Jackson last year. The vast majority of people interested in The Beatles will have their CD's already and surely it ain't that hard to import your CD's to itunes.
Sure a bunch of their hits will make the digital tracks chart for a couple of weeks but I'm positive that they won't dominate the upper regions of the chart. Suggestions that the Beatles would have the entire top 10 to themselves are ridiculous, which I'm sure will finally be proven now, but we'll see.

 I can't. I just can't. I bet more than half of the iTunes regulars are like "WTF? Take this away I want my music back" The Beatles are the music. |

They are about to take over the Albums chart and some of their singles are already in the Top 200.

Those who get their music on the internet and have never seen a music store. Early results are that this will be pretty big |

As none of the Beatles recently passed on, it shouldn't have the impact we saw with Michael Jackson's music. But, it should do pretty well, regardless of the fact that the music already has sold millions upon millions.

and still sells to this day
Beatles albums have been fixtures on the catalog chart for years (predominantly Beatles 1)
Despite the impression that everybody already has all the music

In fact due to catalog success, as we know Beatles 1 was the best selling album of the last decade

I don't think you understood what I meant. It's annoying to read multiple posts from you in a row that are just stream of conscious. You're supposed to modify it all into one post.

There are 122 Beatles songs in the Rock Top 200. This is legendary.
(17 Beatles songs in the overall Top 200, led by #84, Let it Be.)

Apple says iTunes will sell music from Beatles
JESSICA MINTZ
From Associated Press
November 16, 2010 1:57 PM EST
SEATTLE (AP) — "Beatles for Sale" is finally for sale on iTunes — along with the rest of the Fab Four's albums, from "Please Please Me" to "Revolver" to "Abbey Road."
The Beatles had been the most prominent holdout from iTunes and other online music services. On Tuesday, Apple Inc. said its iTunes store will start selling downloads of songs and albums from the group, in an agreement with the Beatles' recording label, EMI Group Ltd., and its management company, Apple Corps Ltd.
Apple will sell 13 remastered Beatles studio albums, the two-volume "Past Masters" set and the classic "Red" and "Blue" collections. People can buy individual songs for $1.29 apiece or download entire albums, at $12.99 for a single album and $19.99 for a double.
For $149, Apple is also selling a special digital box set that includes a download of the 41-minute movie of the Beatles' first U.S. concert, "Live at the Washington Coliseum, 1964."
Until Tuesday, Apple Corps had resisted selling Beatles music as online downloads. The situation was exacerbated by a long-running trademark dispute between Apple Inc. and Apple Corps. It was resolved in 2007 when the companies agreed on joint use of the apple logo and name, and many people saw that as paving the way for an agreement for online access to Beatles songs.
With the Beatles now in Apple's music store, the number of holdouts has dwindled. Garth Brooks, Kid Rock and AC/DC are among the remaining artists who refuse to sell their work through Apple. Some want more control over pricing or the ability to force shoppers to download entire albums instead of individual songs.
Until now, to listen to Beatles songs on iPods, you'd have to obtain a CD and "rip" an online version of it — or find someone who already has, legalities aside.
Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, couldn't resist celebrating the Beatles' arrival on iTunes with an obvious quip.
"It has been a long and winding road to get here," he said in a statement, referencing the song "The Long and Winding Road" from the Beatles' 1970 "Let it Be" album.
"Thanks to the Beatles and EMI, we are now realizing a dream we've had since we launched iTunes ten years ago," Jobs said.
In a press release, former band members and their relatives all gave the deal their blessings, including Sir Paul McCartney; Beatles drummer Ringo Starr; Yoko Ono Lennon, John Lennon's widow; and Olivia Harrison, widow of George Harrison.
"I am particularly glad to no longer be asked when the Beatles are coming to iTunes," Starr said.
The deal gives Apple a sweet public relations boost at the start of the holiday shopping season, but sales of Beatles music won't make much of a financial impact on the company.
Brian Marshall, an analyst for Gleacher & Co., said he believes Beatles fans with iPods and other digital music players have already converted their physical CDs into digital tracks. Even if people do rush to their computers for a "Yellow Submarine" fix, Apple's other businesses are the real moneymakers. In the most recent quarter, Apple's revenue was $20.3 billion, and iTunes sales made up just 5 percent, Marshall said.
For the music industry, the arrival of the Beatles for download might mean even less.
"The digital music market (and the young music fans record labels desperately need to get engaged) need new music products, not yesteryear's hits repackaged," said Mark Mulligan, a Forrester analyst, in a statement.
Apple swapped out its home page design for a black and white image of the Beatles in silhouette.
Apple, which is based in Cupertino, Calif., will also be running a series of minimalist television commercials that combine footage and photos of the band with classic songs such as "All You Need is Love" and "Let it Be."
Apple shares slipped $5.62, or 1.8 percent, to $301.41 in midday trading Tuesday.

I daresay that "Let it Be" might become another "Don't Stop Believing" in that regard, and Abbey Road another... successful Catalog album on the digital charts. |

Why are these 40 year old Beatles singles priced at 1.29? No wonder there is so much illegal downloading going on.
The Beatles are legends, the surviving members don't need the money.
Old songs should be .69. Oh well.

Everybody is so pressed.  Purchasing a slew of Beatle tracks in a few minutes.  Why are these 40 year old Beatles singles priced at 1.29? No wonder there is so much illegal downloading going on. The Beatles are legends, the surviving members don't need the money. Old songs should be .69. Oh well. To be frank, pricing a Beatles track at .69 and a nameless song in the Top 10 now at 1.29 is incredibly insulting. |
