Beatles Set To Become Biggest Selling Band Of Last Ten Years

Well we all knew that The Beatles were huge but who ever expected that they would still be the biggest selling band around even 40 years after they broke up. They are set up to do just that. Since the year 2000 only one act (Eminem) has sold more music than the Fab Four and most music industry people predict that by this Christmas they will over take him. As of early September Eminem has sold about 32 million CD's since the turn of the century and the Beatles are close behind at about 28.2 million. On September 9th the Beatles record label EMI released brand new remastered versions of 14 of the bands best albums which is expected to increase sales and spark new interest in the band. On top of that you had on the same day the release of the "Beatles: Rock Band" interactive video game. With the game you can pick your favorite instrument and rock on with the Fabs to 45 of their best songs spanning the length of their entire career. Most music experts figure that by the end of the year they will be the biggest selling band of the last ten years. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
