The Beatles Back On Top!

Nearly half a century since they formed and a full 39 years since the band split, the Beatles were today set to top this week's charts with the release of The Beatles: Rock Band and a series of remastered albums.

The Beatles Rock Band, in which players follow on-screen cues to "play" a scaled down plastic guitar, bass or drum kit with the band, or else sing along, is the first game officially endorsed by the group. It was released this morning and is expected to be become a top seller.

To celebrate what has been dubbed as "Beatles Day", MTV will be playing out 16 specially sourced Beatles music videos.
