The Beatles' Ascension Continues with the Release of "Abbey Road"
The iconic album Abbey Road by The Beatles continues to dominate sales charts in the U.S., even after decades of release. This timeless masterpiece has sold over 6.2 million copies within the U.S. alone, and yet, its popularity shows no signs of waning.
Currently, Abbey Road is soaring up the ranks in the U.S., making significant strides on various charts. The album has climbed up five different lists, primarily attributed to a substantial surge in purchases. This rise is noteworthy, considering the length of time the album has been available in the market and its already impressive sales figures.
During the recent tracking period, Abbey Road was purchased by 7,750 American music enthusiasts. This figure represents an increase of more than 42% compared to the previous frame, as per Luminate's data. This substantial leap in sales numbers is rare, irrespective of the age of the album or the band behind it.
The overall consumption of the album also showed an increase, albeit not as significant. In the past week, the album saw nearly 11,900 equivalent units in sales and streams. This represents a growth of almost 22% compared to the previous week's figures, which slightly fell short of 10,000 units.
As a result of this renewed interest, Abbey Road jumped over 30 spots on the Billboard 200 chart, settling at the No. 148 position. The album also made substantial progress on the Top Album Sales chart, climbing from No. 40 to No. 30.
Interestingly, Abbey Road also recorded notable improvements on three other charts. Although the climb was not as dramatic as on the Billboard 200, it still managed to ascend on the Vinyl Albums (to No. 19), Top Rock & Alternative Albums (to No. 29), and Top Rock Albums (to No. 22) charts simultaneously.
It is unsurprising that Abbey Road has secured the top spot on all five of these charts given its enduring popularity. It has spent an impressive amount of time on all these charts, with the Billboard 200 being close to hitting the 500-week mark. The set has also celebrated its 300th week on the Top Album Sales chart, spending the least amount of time there beyond other charts.
