Remastered Beatles sell big
The release of remastered versions of the entire Beatles catalog has brought back Beatlemania, according to EMI.
On Sept. 9, EMI released the remastered albums along with stereo and mono box sets. The release date corresponded with the debut of the video game “Rock Band: The Beatles.”
According to Billboard.com, the Fab Four’s reissued albums are dominating charts worldwide. In North America, Japan and the U.K., sales totaled more than 2.25 million copies of the albums in the first five days on sale.
“Beatlemania has returned, with fans new and old embracing these beautiful albums in their re-mastered and re-packaged forms,” said EMI CEO Elio Leoni-Sceti in a statement printed by Billboard.com. “By putting the needs and desires of consumers first, the band are breaking new records around the world more than four decades after they first started recording.”
