The Beatles Arrival At Kennedy Airport

News came out about 6 months ago that The Beatles are one of The Top 20 Current Best Selling Recording Artists Since 2000. Now, if you had said The Beatles Are The Biggest Record Selling Group, Of Any Group, Of Any Genre, Of All Time That, wouldn't surprise me as much Because, it's true. The Beatles have sold well over a Billion Records, Tapes and Cd's since The 1960's. And, according to Wikipedia, The Beatles had sold 545 Million Records by 1972. And, now into modern times they have gone well over the Billion Mark. But, that they are now At The Brink of Becoming The Biggest Record Selling Group Of Any Group, Of Any Genre, Of The Decade, That's Amazing! Especially, when you consider That they broke up nearly 40 years ago. And, with all the artists today to compete with, It's still amazing. And, a defunct group at that. But of course, The Beatles aren't just any ordinary singing group. They completely dominated The 1960's Music Scene and changed the music industry completely, And, changed the way we listen to music. Their Influence is still felt today. And, as solo Artists they continued to make records and news right into The 1970's. Then, came the release of The Red Album 1962-1966 and, The Blue Album 1967-1970 Released in 1973. Which opened the door (because of the quality of sound on those 2 double albums) for better sounding products to come, and including, The Twentieth Anniversary Edition of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1987, As well as, The Yellow Submarine Songtrack in 1999. Again, these Two releases had Great Remastering. And of course, The Anthology CDs. Which now leads us right up to The Remasters Of 2009. And now they are one of The Top 20 Current Best Selling Acts since 2000. At this point, The Beatles are only second to Marshall Mathers, (Better known as Eminem), since 2000. As you will see below, Eminem has Sold Nearly 32 Million Albums and, The Four Moptops have Sold Nearly 28 Million Albums Again, all since 2000. The Beatles Anthology Project made them The 5th Biggest Album Selling Act of The 1990's. Plus Their Biggest Selling Hits Album "1" from 2003 which went number 1 around the world Selling 32 million albums making it one of The Best Selling Greatest Hits Albums Of All Time second, only to The Greatest Hits Album by The Eagles, which to date has Sold 42 Million copies. And now, it looks like The Beatles are poised to be The Biggest Selling Act of The Decade. So, with the Beatles Remasters In full selling mode and, another push in november, it's looking great for the Fab Four. Or, should I say it's looking FAB! According to Rollingstone's Rock and Roll Daily, Music @ Yahoo, Consequence Of Sound, USA Today's Prefix Magazine to name a few, They are mighty close. And, unless Mr. Mathers comes up with something mind-blowing between now and the end of December, The Beatles Look Unbeatable. (Unbeatleable?) So far, The Top 20 List according to Yahoo's Music Blogger, Bob Grein Of Chart Watch, Dated: May 29, 2009 (by way of soundscan) is as follows: 1. Eminem, 31,127,000 2. The Beatles, 27,591,000 3.
