Really? So what was the point of pointing out that they sold a million. Wasn’t it to show that they must be popular?

Not exactly. You said the Beatles aint doin sh-t now. I replied that they're one of two groups who sold a million records last year. They haven't made new music in 50+ years, and they're still selling a million records in a year's time today. It was simply to point out how much impact they've had and continue to have and how that might contribute to name recognition.

Do you really think that 20 year olds are impacted by what a bunch of people 30+ years older than them are buying?

Most 20-year olds today should be impacted by a truck.
Preferably one driven by Paul McCartney with the ghost of George Harrison riding shotgun.

Yeah when those people own media narratives. I mean your entire argument assumes that pop culture and the people who own it are exactly the same now as when you were a kid. Do you think capitalism hadnt't changed since then?
