Citando:
"O tema "MIA", em parceira com Bad Bunny, foi o responsável por dar o novo recorde a Drake. A canção foi a 12ª do rapper a chegar ao top 10 da principal lista da Billboard.

Até esta semana, o recorde pertencia aos Beatles que, em 1964, conseguiram colocar 11 canções nos primeiros lugares do Hot 100."

Other notable points included both Floyd and The Beatles getting three albums in the top 20, while Led Zeppelin got four. Of rock’s biggest bands, perhaps the Rolling Stones fared worst, with just two albums in the top 50 but none in the top 20."

2017-06: Beatles no top da Billboard 50 anos depois

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-beatles-sgt-pepper-50th-billboard-20170605-story.html

Citando:
"The Beatles are once again in the upper reaches of the Billboard 200 albums chart as the 50^thanniversary edition of the group’s 1967 classic, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” jumped to No. 3 a week after the release of the new stereo remix.

In terms of total equivalent sales factoring in streams, “Sgt. Pepper” logged 75,000 sales last week, behind only rapper Bryson Tiller’s “True to Self,” which tops the chart with equivalent sales of almost 107,000 copies, and Kendrick Lamar’s “Damn.,” at No. 2 on sales of 84,000 copies."

2017-06-06: PM e Stevie Wonder no top com EaI (35 anos)

http://ultimateclassicrock.com/paul-mccartney-stevie-wonder-ebony-and-ivory/

Citando:
"The song in question, “Ebony and Ivory,” was demoed in late 1980 and developed during the sessions for McCartney’s third solo album, 1982’s Tug of War. With lyrics using the piano as a metaphor for ideal race relations, the song seemed like a natural for the duet treatment — and McCartney immediately knew who he wanted for a partner. “I wanted to sing it with a black guy,” he later recalled. “And my first thought was Stevie.”

Phoned by McCartney, Wonder quickly agreed. “I listened to the song, and I liked it very much,” said Wonder. “I felt it was positive for everybody. I won’t say it demanded of people to reflect upon it, but it politely asks the people to reflect upon life in using the terms of music … this melting pot of many different people.”

The duo convened at AIR Studios in Montserrat under the guidance of producer George Martin, who helmed the Tug of War sessions, and cut a pair of duets for the record — “What’s That You’re Doing?” and “Ebony and Ivory,” which would make its way to radio in late March as the album’s lead single. (Though McCartney and Wonder recorded in person, their schedules kept them from filming the “Ebony and Ivory” video together — they had to be spliced into the frame via editing magic.)"

2015-11-14: Beatles referidos em top da Bilboard

http://uk.mobile.reuters.com/article/idUKKCN0T22BH20151114?irpc=932
Quoting: Despite having a record 19 No. 1 hits, The Beatles placed only 54th on the all-time great album rankings with "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," which spent 15 straight weeks at the top in 1967.
But the Fab Four from Liverpool were named the top all-time act, followed by The Rolling Stones.
Country-turned-pop singer Taylor Swift, who has had four albums hit No. 1 since 2006, gave her a No.8 ranking in the greatest acts. Billboard noted she was the only act among the all-time top 30 to have started a chart career since 2000.
