The Beatles See A Half-Century-Old Song Reach New Chart Peaks

People all around the world will never stop listening to music from The Beatles. Even more than a half-century after the Fab Four split, the group constantly appears on charts in most Western nations, especially the United Kingdom, where the four members – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison – hail from.

Usually multiple albums, and one or two tracks, can be found on the weekly lists, and this time around, two Beatles smashes return and become bestsellers again, with one reaching never-before-seen peaks.  The Beatles Bring "Golden Slumbers" Back

"Golden Slumbers" by The Beatles rebounds onto both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales charts. The track becomes a top 40 win for the first time on the downloads-only roster as it reenters at No. 37. The same cut narrowly misses out on that important tier on the Official Singles Sales list, where it settles at No. 41. Those are new peaks for "Golden Slumbers" on both charts.

The Beatles debuted "Golden Slumbers" on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts back in November 2017. As the song returns, it earns only its second stay on the lists as a true bestseller in the U.K.

The Beatles released "Golden Slumbers" in September 1969, as the track was featured on the band's masterpiece Abbey Road. The full-length only produced two songs that served as singles, which were released together, "Something" and "Come Together" dropped as an A and B side shortly after Abbey Road became available. "Golden Slumbers" was never selected for a promotional push, but it’s a top performer across the Atlantic nonetheless.  The Beatles’s "Now and Then" Returns to a Sales List.
