heh heh heh...That's ok, I posted this same information on another discussion list and a lady on that list cannot believe that The Beatles are at number one. She seems to think it should be Michael Jackson. When I pointed out to her that the list represented US sales and, like it or not, facts are facts and the sales figures are probably accurate-she said maybe the RIAA was just prejudiced against "poor Michael" Some people's kids!
