MONDAY QUIZ: WHO HOLDS ALL-TIME TOP SPOT ON BILLBOARD?


Special to El Rrun-Rrun

The Beatles: Still #1 on the Billboard 200 – and by a landslide

According to Billboard’s latest tally, The Beatles have spent 132 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart – more than any other artist in history.

For perspective:

• Taylor Swift is in 2nd with 86 weeks.

• Elvis Presley, the King himself, is at 67.

• Even Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Adele, and Elton John don’t come close.

• And yes – the Rolling Stones, their eternal rivals, sit tied for 11th with 38 weeks.

The gap is staggering. Nearly three years at No. 1, across multiple albums and generations, and the records are still standing. No streaming boosts, no social media – just vinyl, radio, and Beatlemania.

Proof once again that the Beatles didn’t just break records – they set the standard.

What do you think?

Will anyone ever catch The Beatles’ 132 weeks at the top – or is this one record that will stand forever?

Trump amenaza con revocar los permisos a las televisoras NBC y ABC por ser “sesgadas y mentirosas”

El presidente de EU acusó a ambas cadenas de ser “una rama del Partido Demócrata” y representar “una verdadera amenaza para nuestra democracia”.

The Beatles music has been passed down through generations. My children,
now parents, are avid fans. I sincerely believe that music in the sixties and
seventies eclipsed anything that we listen to today. That is, of course, just
my opinion. Hey 7:52 , "Don't worry, about a thing. Every little thing, is going
to be alright". Peace

If one is alive right now and, hopefully, trying to write about being alive right now, one can’t not write about the dark digital ponds into which we’re always looking for answers, diversions, and reassurances of our own beauty.

Every swinging dick who let his hair grow and bought a guitar wanted to be The Beatles. And every band that came after them was nothing but imitation. Without The Beatles, they would have been Walmart/Whataburger employees. All of them.

Juan, the skinny in town is that your name is on the Epstein list.
You and El Jerry.

Both El Paya and Juan wish they were on Epstein's list. That would mean that they are mega wealthy.
