The Beatles Sell 2,000,000 Songs in Their First Week on iTunes

One week ago, the entire Beatles catalog was made available on Apple's online music store iTunes. Now, the numbers are in: according to Billboard, the Beatles sold more than 450,000 albums and more than 2 million individual songs in the first week on iTunes.

The best selling-album in the U.S. was Abbey Road while the best-selling song was Here Comes the Sun.

The impressive numbers come as no surprise as the Beatles took over the iTunes charts in the first day of availability, with 11 of their albums surging to the iTunes top 25 albums list.
