After only being in the iTunes store for about 2 months, The Beatles have sold over 5 million songs and over a million album downloads.
These statistics were recently brought to light in an interview from an Apple Representative with The Loop magazine.
The report stated that the most popular Beatles song downloaded is “Here Comes the Sun”, which sales for about a $1.29. Also, the Apple rep stated that the Beatles Album “Abbey Road” is the most popular album being sold, which sales for $12.99.
The Beatles catalog recently showed up in the iTunes store just a few months ago, after the negotiations have taken around seven years. There has been obvious beef between the company that owns the rights to the Beatles “Apple Corps” and “Apple, Inc”, and the two companies have even battled in court regarded trademark related issues.
The Beatles songs are different from most artists in the iTunes store because they receive more royalties from the sales of their songs than others.
