Chart domination

Paul Wad's picture

With downloads replacing the need for the record company to hastily re-release singles, like they did in the days of Elvis and John Lennon, it's been easy for Jacko to dominate the charts (I think he has something like 37 of the Top 100).

This got me thinking, when the Beatles catalogue is released in a few weeks, how many of the Top 100 will they have? I'm not sure whether they are going to be available on itunes, which could affect the figures. I would imagine that there'll be a few planned new releases by other artists held back for a couple of weeks though.

And which of their songs do you reckon will be the highest? I certainly wouldn't have guessed at Man in the Mirror as Jacko's highest entry.

As I understand it...

As I understand it, once the Beatles catalogue gets released on-line, they will restrict purchases to whole albums only, and not allow punters to pick and chose individual tracks. I've no idea if they plan to allow the individual singles to be downloaded separately.
