Well 'thousands' would be really a really small number. Again, just by sales on their 1 album if you get 13-14 million in only a month, I would have to easily say '10s of millions', because many more probably didn't buy the album and made copies.. That would be just currently how many fans they have.

i'm a fan and i've never bought a record or something so i don't think you can rely on the record sales.
So true. I was a fan for years before I bought any records. We need to implant a microchip in everyone's brain so we can accurately monitor questions like these! Oh, and welcome to the forums!

I would imagine The Beatles have quite a large dormant fanbase across the age spectrum ? When eventually there music goe's online and we get decent remasters to buy , only then will we know who's out there ? but i would hope it's millions

Hmm...I've wondered about this. I reckon that some fans have given up waiting, and lost interest. And some, if not most, think that the original CD's sound fine, and why should they pay for expensive remasters when they already have CD's? Of course, we'll all buy them, but I think we're the exception. I have a decent, expensive hi-fi, so I want the best possible quality, but most of my friends have mini hi-fi systems, or they use their cheap surround sound kit to listen to music. Those kind of people will not be replacing their CD's. I can see the downloads doing reasonably well, in a limited capacity. Some people will download the odd song, but I can't see existing fans - especially long standing ones - downloading entire albums.
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
I figured this forum would have a good guess as to how many Beatles fans there are in the world, based on record sales if nothing else.
So, how many fans of the Fab Four do you think are around today? Are there like millions and millions, or way less and the Fabs are mostly a history lesson? Thank you!
There Has To Be Millions!! (and Counting) ....Their Music Keeps Spreading Across The Universe!
