The Beatles sold more than two million individual songs and more than 450,000 albums worldwide in their first week of release on Apple's iTunes store, the company said today.
Abbey Road was the top-selling digital album in the US iTunes store, ending at number six for the week. The Beatles Box Set was number 10 on the iTunes US album charts.
Here Comes the Sun was the best-selling Beatles digital single but did not place in the top 10 for the week, Apple said.
The Beatles catalogue was released on iTunes for the first time on November 16th, ending years of negotiations between Apple founder Steve Jobs, the Beatles management company and record label EMI.
