The Beatles Send Multiple Albums Back To The Billboard Charts

The Beatles may be the bestselling musical act of all time, but the group isn’t guaranteed a spot on the Billboard charts in the United States at all times. The rockers regularly appear on one list or another, as consumption of the band’s music remains high, even decades after the musicians went their separate ways. The band does disappear from the rankings occasionally, only to, sometimes, return with multiple wins at once.

This week fits into the latter category, as several of The Beatles’ most famous releases bounce back onto Billboard’s rankings.

Abbey Road Becomes a Vinyl Bestseller Again

Abbey Road returns to the Vinyl Albums chart this week, landing at No. 19. The former champion is about two months shy of reaching 500 weeks on the list of the bestselling vinyl releases in the U.S. While it might take a few more months or even a year, it’s highly likely that The Beatles’ bestseller will hit that milestone.

The Beatles’ 1 Returns

At the moment, Abbey Road can be found on only that one list. Meanwhile, 1, one of The Beatles’ most famous compilations, returns to a different tally. The compilation reenters the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart this frame, settling in at No. 49, which is second-to-last place. Unlike Abbey Road on the Vinyl Albums chart, 1 has somehow never managed to conquer the Top Rock & Alternative Albums tally. At its peak, the band pushed the compilation to No. 3.

The Beatles Join Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift

It’s a quiet frame in terms of debuts on both the Vinyl Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts. On the vinyl list, The Beatles join Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, SZA, and Kendrick Lamar, as all those artists and others mount comebacks with hugely popular projects.

Ozzy Osbourne scores the only debut on the rock and alternative ranking, as The Essential Ozzy Osbourne opens at No. 29 following his final live performance. When it comes to returning favorites, Bruce Springsteen, Blink-182, Kid Rock, and — appropriately, given that the last tracking period included the Fourth of July — the band America all reappear on the ranking alongside The Beatles.
