The Beatles

A poster of the Beatles is on display in an Apple Store in Santa Monica, California on December 7, 2010. After years of legal wrangling and Beatles fans left without iTunes access to their favorite Beatles songs, iTunes recently began offering digital editions of Beatles songs. Traffic was expected to be heavy to the site when the Beatles catalog was released on iTunes, and fans met that expectation by buying more than 2 million Beatles songs during their first week of availability. Thirty years after his untimely death, gunned down in the street outside his New York apartment, John Lennon remains a legend whose music and drive for world peace has inspired generations of artists.
