The Beatles’ No. 1 album “Let It Be” surged back to the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Oct. 30), reentering at No. 5 51 years after it was first released in 1970. The album made a comeback following the reissue of its deluxe special edition, which was released recently to promote director Peter Jackson’s upcoming documentary series “The Beatles: Get Back.”
ABBA also announced that they have reunited after nearly four decades since their split in 1983. The mega-selling Swedish group is returning with its new album titled “Voyage,” which is set to hit the market on Friday. It will launch a virtual concert residency scheduled for next year in London, with their holograms performing many of their biggest hits.
Meanwhile, Adele has confirmed that her fourth album is coming, and the album titled “30” is expected to be another huge success when it is released on Nov. 19. The 33-year-old superstar’s new single “Easy on Me” from the album skyrocketed to No. 1 last week.
