The Beatles Chart A Pair Of Hit Albums As One Of Their Classics Returns
The Beatles usually appear on the Billboard 200 in America. The chart ranks the most-consumed albums in the country, and as one of the bestselling groups of all time with countless hits to their credit, the band can often find space for at least one of their top titles. Sometimes, the ranking is quiet enough, and the Fab Four’s catalog is popular enough, that they’re able to claim more than a single spot.
The British rockers own two spaces on this week’s Billboard 200. The Beatles double down as one of their most celebrated projects breaks back onto the competitive tally and a favorite continues.
Abbey Road is back on the Billboard 200 this frame. The rock classic settles in at No. 198 on the 200-rung tally, barely managing to re-enter the roster again after not being present on the list last time around.
In the past tracking week, Luminate reports that Abbey Road moved a little under 8,200 equivalent units in the U.S. That sum includes almost 2,000 pure purchases, which is a fairly huge number for a full-length that was released so long ago.
As Abbey Road returns to the Billboard 200, The Beatles’ 1 appears even higher on the list once again. That compilation of the band’s most beloved singles rises from No. 180 to No. 168 this frame.
