Brief Album Description:
1 is a compilation album by the English rock band the Beatles, originally released on 13 November 2000. The album features virtually
every number-one single the band achieved in the United Kingdom and United States from 1962 to 1970. Issued on the 30th anniversary of
the band's break-up, it was their first compilation available on only one compact disc. 1 was a commercial success and topped the charts
worldwide. It has sold over 31 million copies. In addition, 1 is the fourth best-selling album in the US since Nielsen SoundScan began
tracking US album sales in January 1991 and the best-selling album of the decade (2000 to 2009) in the US, as well as the best-selling
album of the decade worldwide. 1 was remastered and reissued in September 2011, and was remixed and reissued again in several different
deluxe editions in November 2015, the most comprehensive of which is a three-disc set entitled 1+, which includes video discs of the
band's music videos. As of June 2015, 1 is the sixth best-selling album of the 21st century in the UK, having sold over 3.1 million copies.
