(Newser) – It’s a flashback to Beatlemania in Britain after the release of remastered versions of the band’s discography, Reuters reports. The Fab Four are expected to hold at least five of the top 20 spots on the pop charts when the sales week closes Saturday, along with 15 of the top 75 albums. “It is clear that the Beatles' enduring appeal shows no signs of waning," says one expert.

I love how people think appending "IMHO" on even the most idiotic and confrontational of arguments makes everything a-ok. But, hey, that's just me.
