The Beatles can almost always be found on the U.K. music charts. The legendary band typically fills one spot on the ranking of the most-consumed albums, though they trade one title for another with some regularity.
Forbes reports this week, the Fab Four manage to do so once again, but that’s not the most exciting story around their chart performance in their home country. The Beatles also reappear on the songs ranking, as one of the most beloved singles is back.
"Hey Jude" returns to the U.K. songs chart this frame. The tune re-enters the 100-spot list of the most-consumed tracks in the nation at No. 94. That’s a fairly low position, yet it’s nonetheless impressive for a cut that has been around for more than half a century.
The Beatles debuted "Hey Jude" on the tally at No. 21 back in September of 1968. One week after it launched, it hit No. 1. The smash managed a pair of consecutive turns atop the list before slowly sliding downward.
"Hey Jude" returns to the U.K. songs chart for the first time in 14 years. The last time it appeared on the roster was back in late 2010. In a three-week run, it reappeared at No. 40, before descending to No. 99 two weeks later…and then vanishing entirely.
As "Hey Jude" enjoys another moment in the spotlight, The Beatles also appear on the U.K. albums chart, as is common these days. Their 1 compilation slips a few rungs to No. 64 as it hits 450 weeks on the list.
