How about the individual song charts? They aren’t doing as well there (probably because so many people are buying the entire albums, as they should be.)

Still it’s interesting to see which Beatles songs are getting the most individual downloads. Here are they are:

#27 “Here Comes the Sun”
#31 “Let It Be”
#33 “In My Life”
#38 “Blackbird”
#48 “Come Together”
#67 “With a Little Help From My Friends”
#69 “Hey Jude”
#75 “Let It Be”
#77 “Twist & Shout”
#84 “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”
#86 “Eleanor Rigby”
#88 “I Saw Her Standing There”
#91 “Twist & Shout”
#93 “A Day in the Life”
#97 “Yesterday”
#101 “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”
#102 “Help!”
#103 “Yesterday”
#105 “Something”
#108 “Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da”
#113 “A Hard Day’s Night”
#118 “Can’t Buy Me Love”
#121 “Hey Jude”
#125 “Dear Prudence”
#127 “Here Comes the Sun”
#128 “I Am The Walrus”
#129 “Strawberry Fields Forever”
#130 “I Saw Her Standing There”
#136 “When I’m Sixty-Four”
#137 “All My Loving”

#157 “Penny Lane”
#160 “Norwegian Wood”
#163 “I’ll Follow the Sun”
#165 “Hello, Goodbye”
#166 “I Should Have Known Better”
#170 “The Long and Winding Road”
#171 “Across the Universe”
#172 “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”
#173 “Back in the USSR”
#179 “Come Together”
#182 “Do You Want to Know a Secret?”
#184 “All You Need Is Love”
#186 “If I Fell”
#188 “Yellow Submarine”
#192 “I Want to Hold Your Hand”
#199 “Rocky Raccoon”
#200 “Hey Jude”

Some songs (like “Let It Be,” “Yesterday,” and “Hey Jude”) are on the list multiple times. I don’t know what the deal is with that.

In all there are 50 Beatles songs among the top 200. Which is actually pretty damn amazing, especially considering how well the albums (and the box set) are selling too. People who buy the box set are really buying all of the albums (and songs) yet it only counts as one purchase.
