    Yeah I went to Wikipedia to check the numbers :

    The group’s “main catalogue”—songs released between 1962 and 1970—consists of 213 songs

    So that’s like 50+ songs that were “hits”, wake me up when Gearbox releases 200+ games and 50 of those are nominated for at least one awards

      I get what you’re saying, but this is a completely useless metric.

      Also, it’s not like the songs that didn’t make the charts were bad, they just didn’t hit the charts.

      Back then I believe only singles were eligible for the charts, not the rest of the album.

        Also, back then, and up until the late 00s, you bought albums, singles were a thing and plenty popular, but mainly if you liked a band you bought their album.

        The beatles hit number 1 for 90% of their studio albums.

          And their worst album (yellow submarine) was 3rd.
