The Beatles Return To Multiple Charts As Fans Keep Buying And Streaming
It's a quiet week for The Beatles on the music charts in the United Kingdom, which means the group appears on only a handful of tallies. Still, it seems that British citizens will never stop consuming the music the Fab Four created, whether through hugely popular compilations or steady buying and streaming activity of individual tunes.
The Beatles return to multiple rankings in the country this week, as both a hit single and a massively popular album manage to reappear.
The Beatles claim just one popular track in the U.K. this week, as "Now and Then" becomes a bestseller once more. The tune, which was released in 2023 and marketed as the final release by The Beatles, reenters the Official Physical Singles chart at No. 50.
"Now and Then"—which earned the group a new Grammy Award only months ago—never stays away from this tally for long. It has now spent 78 weeks somewhere on the list of the top-selling tracks on any physical format, including nearly two months at No. 1.
The Beatles also appear with multiple charting albums at the moment, but only one had to return. 1, a compilation of the group's No. 1 hits, finds its way back to the Official Album Downloads chart at No. 93.
Among all of the band's projects that performed well enough to appear on at least one list, 1 is the longest-charting, as it is now up to 238 weeks on the ranking of the most-downloaded titles in the country. 1 is also the only full-length by The Beatles this week to appear on just a single roster.
The Beatles typically keep two related compilations on the charts, and both are still present at the moment. 1967–1970 and 1962–1966 take up space on both the Official Albums chart and Official Albums Streaming ranking. Only 1967–1970 manages to climb, as it ascends two spots on the streaming-only tally, while in every other instance, the projects — which contain the singles the band released during the years in the albums' titles — are falling.
Interestingly, there's no crossover between the two connected compilations and 1, as it seems that both 1967–1970 and 1962–1966 perform especially well on platforms like Spotify, which may be keeping them going on the charts, while 1 is a bestseller.

Drew McIntyre is stuck in the UK, WWE reportedly working to bring him back
Earlier today, Drew McIntyre took to social media to cut a promo amongst cows. Wait, huh? I'll allow him to explain, and it's bad news for WWE right now: 'It's quite the week I've had. You want to know how it's been capped off? I can't get back in America, they wouldn't let me board my flight. … I'm in England still, at my buddy's wedding, and what a wedding it was. Planning to go back, train for SummerSlam but no, no, no, I got blocked. 'Wife and I walked up to the gate, trying to check in, always goes perfectly fine. Not this time. 'Sir, you don't have your U.S. passport. I know who you are. I know you've lived there for a long time. I know you're showing me pictures of your passport and your global entry, and it doesn't matter, I know exactly who you are, your property and the likes. But, no, we can't let you in the country.'' He went on to say his wife went back home to look after their cat before turning it into a kayfabe issue and blaming Jelly Roll, the man he was scheduled to wrestle against at SummerSlam. According to PW Insider, this is a real issue WWE is currently working to resolve and McIntyre is genuinely stuck. We'll see if they can get things figured out in time for one of the biggest shows of the year.

'Bend It Like Beckham' sequel in the works more than 20 years after the original
'I'm pretty certain that everyone's going to want to come back," director Gurinder Chadha said. Goal! Gurinder Chadha is working on a prequel to Bend It Like Beckham, the 2003 sports cult classic about a young Indian woman (Parminder Nagra) whose dreams of playing pro soccer clash with her strict immigrant parents' ideals. In the comedy, Nagra starred as Jess Bhamra, a teenager who goes against her parents' wishes and competes in matches in secret once she's enlisted by fellow player Jules Paxton (Keira Knightley) for a semi-pro team. Jonathan Rhys Meyers also starred as Jess' coach, Joe, whom she takes a liking to. Stars Nagra and Knightley, as well as Archie Panjabi (who played Pinky) and Juliet Stevenson (Paula), are "aware that a sequel is being developed," Chadha told Deadline, but "want to see a script before they commit." "I'm pretty certain that everyone's going to want to come back," Chadha said. "Everything hinges on the script and if the original cast likes it. I am working really hard to make sure every character I bring back has a decent arc." No plot details yet, but Chadha intends to once again co-write the screenplay with husband Paul Mayeda Berges. She also collaborated with Emma Hayes, head coach of the U.S. women's national soccer team, to help shape the script. The goal is a 2027 release to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the film's U.K. 2002 premiere. The original film, its title a nod to none other than former soccer player David Beckham, was a box office hit, grossing $76.6 million against a budget of roughly $6 million. It even inspired a 2015 West End production. 'I think people underestimated the power of girls wanting to see films where they were empowered,' Chadha told Entertainment Weekly of the film's enduring success in a retrospective in 2018 ,alongside stars Nagra and Panjabi. 'Those hardly ever existed.'"People love a story about an underdog," Nagra added. "Billy Elliot did it. Rocky. Somebody who has to struggle and is going up against everybody else's version of what they think that person should be. And I think that's what resonates with people: If you put the hard work in and the persistence, eventually it'll pay off." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
