This statement is crazy. Let's say the Beasties are in the prime right now.
Out of the top 20 older music releases on the best selling list, Licensed
to Ill is #2, Paul's Boutique is #6, and Check Your Head Is #11. Don't
forget that Hello Nasty is the #1 best seller.

The Beatles aren't on the charts right now. The entire Beatles back catalog
isn't even selling close to Hello Nasty right now.
