Yep, they sold more records, CDs, downloads etc. than any other artist in each and every of the past five decades.

It only takes 8hrs, 44min,42 sec to play non stop every recording that the Beatles did. Hardly a proud record. The Beatles became successful through timing, which obviously is crucial. I lived in England at the time and they were not at all popular...

Then there manager took a chance, changed there wardrobe, flew them to America and the rest is history. They really aren't that good...Lennon/McCartney ..yes they are only OK, as for the other two No Way. As an example ( Only ) Mick Fleetwood vs Ringo Starr. I rest my case.

The Beatles filled a void and their timing was spot on mainly because of there Act and Appearance. They had original recordings certainly, but re-recorded a slew of already hit songs. 8 hrs. ...44 min...42 sec. TOTAL
