The Beatles Bring Two Of Their Biggest Albums Back To The Charts
The Beatles are never completely absent from the music charts in their home country. People all across the United Kingdom—and most other nations, honestly—are constantly streaming and buying the music the band created during their 10 years together (as well as here and there after then), and they keep the rockers on the weekly rankings.
Their presence on the U.K. charts usually consists of one or two songs, and often just a single album. Frequently, just one of the band’s most successful compilations manages to find space on the competitive albums rankings, and it’s not odd to see the group swap one title for another in subsequent frames.
This week is different for The Beatles, though. Two of their compilations are present—and on more than one chart apiece, as well. The titles both manage to return, which means there’s a whole lot of listening to the biggest hits from the band in the U.K. at the moment.
Between their two wins, 1967-1970 is the bigger hit for The Beatles. That gathering of singles from the years in the release’s title—though it’s also commonly referred to as The Blue Album—reappears on the main consumption chart at No. 55. It’s also back on the Official Albums Streaming list at No. 47.
Another compilation from the current Grammy nominees, 1962-1966, mounts a comeback in the U.K. too. The Red Album also manages to find its way back to both tallies as its blue counterpart. 1962-1966 settles at No. 73 on the ranking of the most-consumed albums in the country and No. 61 on the roster of the most-streamed titles.
Neither 1962-1966 nor 1967-1970 were present on those two charts last week. They certainly aren’t new to the lists, either, though.
