Is it normal that a band that ended on 1970 still gets radio airplay and frequent references in the social media almost every day here in Europe? This is a very personal and somewhat infomal logbook of some of these references to The Beatles as a proof of their everlasting relevance and continuing influence over the years. As if they needed. Also includes highlights of promotions and some additional info on the band. Mainly in Portuguese (sorry guys).

2021-10: Umas décadas depois de Starr, Paul McCartney deixou de...
... dar autógrafos!
Starr parou em 2008!
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/no-paul-mccartney-not-sign-143525683.html
Citando:
"The 79-year-old musician went on to explain that cutting out selfies and autographs makes for an all-around more fulfilling experience for everyone involved, but mainly for himself. “What you’ve usually got is a ropey photo with a poor backdrop and me looking a bit miserable,” he said. “Let’s chat, let’s exchange stories.”
The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr beat his fellow bandmate to the punch over a decade ago. In October 2008, the musician asked his fans to stop sending him fan mail or presenting him with objects to autograph via a strangely menacing video.
“I’m warning you with peace and love. I have too much to do, so no more fan mail!” he said at the time, with excessive peace and love. “And no objects to be signed. Nothing! Anyway, peace and love, peace and love.”"
2021-10: Let it be de volta aos tops?
Sim!
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/beatles-let-returns-billboard-charts-184742431.html
Citando:
"The Beatles’ Let It Be jumps back onto the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated October 30), re-entering at No. 5 following its deluxe special edition reissue on October 15.
The set was first released in 1970 as the final studio effort from the band, and also doubled as the soundtrack to the documentary film of the same name. The album spent four weeks atop the Billboard 200 (June 13 – July 4, 1970-dated charts) and is one of a record 19 No.1 albums for the group."
