The Beatles are the most accessed - or "looked up" - artists in the Gracenote database, which has more than 200 million users worldwide and boasts more than 1.2 billion searches a month. The legendary "Sgt. Pepper's" album is also the most accessed original album by The Beatles on the database. More astonishingly for an album that was released four decades ago, according to the Gracenote database, The Beatles' signature album in just the last month has outranked albums by hitmakers Christina Aguilera ("Stripped"), Gwen Stefani ("The Sweet Escape"), The Killers ("Hot Fuss"), Coldplay ("X&Y"), and Eminem ("The Marshal Mathers LP"), all of whom are considered some of today's most popular artists.
"The songs of 'Sgt. Pepper' continue to speak to new generations of music fans, even those on the cutting edge of digital technology," says Scott San Filippo, director of Gracenote's content team. To emphasize the point, San Filippo notes that The Fab Four ranking surpasses that of their '60s counterparts The Rolling Stones and The Who, both of whom have continued to record and tour years after the Beatles broke up in 1970.
