Thos two might get a mention in 40 years for a musical edition of Trivial Pursuit if that is still being updated.

Still nice to see that the Beatles can top the charts.

I don't know. The biggest seller in the UK, even now, is Sir Cliff Richard and he was knighted before Sir Paul McCartney.

The Beatles: Four guys who needed each other, because individually they were musical infants.

This speaks volumes about how far The Beatles have really come. All this time, and with all the people you have to take into consideration that already have their music...

They hit yet another milestone like this. Awesome. :)
