MMT was released first in Oz as a two 7" EPs, with a picture book inside of still photos taken from the movie.

Its the only US release that has become canon. The rest are a bit of a mess. But they nailed this one.

Seriously, could anyone have predicted this?
1. Here Comes The Sun – 1.5 Billion Streams
Topping the list with a staggering 1.5 billion streams is “Here Comes The Sun.” Written by George Harrison, this track from Abbey Road captures optimism and warmth like no other. Its uplifting melody and hopeful lyrics have resonated with listeners across generations, making it one of the most beloved Beatles songs on Spotify. Harrison’s bright guitar work and gentle vocals embody the song’s message of renewal, giving it a timeless quality that continues to inspire.
It’s in my liked songs, so on medium rotation.
Nothing else is.
You can rate best songs until the cows come home, but favourite…songs you still want to hear…
Hmmmm, maybe a thread in that.
I kinda wish George was still here to see it.

I hope the keepers of his estate have good plans for the $38 he earned from those streams.

I’m stuck in 1963.
As in you only listen to music from 1963?
Or, you haven’t got anything for 1963?
I cannot find the names of the jazz albums I had. Will do the rest tonight.
Ps Cold Blood is #1 in 1969.
