Group charts their 31st Top 10 album on the Billboard 200
The latest Beatles release, On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2, has debuted at Number Seven on the Billboard
200, making it the Fab Four's 31st Top 10 album. The album, which
contains recordings the group made between 1962 and 1964, sold 37,000
copies according to Billboard.
On Air is the sequel to the group's 1994 album Live at the BBC,
which debuted at Number Three and sold 360,000 copies; that release
returned to the charts this week, too, reaching Number 34. The last time
the band was in the Top 10 was when their greatest hits comp 1
from 2000 returned to the upper echelons of the chart in 2011, though
their last original compilation to make it into the Top 10 was the 2006
release Love that complemented the Cirque du Soleil show of the same name.

The Beatles are not, however, the group with the most Top 10s. That distinction still belongs to the Rolling Stones,
who have amassed 36 since forming. They made their most recent entrance
into the Top 10 in 2005 with their last original album, A Bigger Bang.
