Out of curiosity, I hunted down the Beatles's charts on Last.fm, to see which are the tracks that are most played today by the general public. The chart is here:
http://www.last.fm/music/The+B…..ype=tracks
Come Together took the top spot with Let It Be coming second and Yesterday as third. Other songs, such as Strawberry Fields Forever, which seems to be a favourite here, ranks at 18.
Personally, I didn't quite like Come Together. And one of my favourites (which is seldom a favourite of other people), Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, is down at 35. But other songs roughly fit into its place according to my opinion.
How about you? Are the charts representative of your preferences, or is your favourite song sitting at the bottoms of the charts?

It's funny. A while ago I read that The Beatles were the most-deleted artist on last.fm – people didn't want them appearing on their personal charts, as (I guess) they were considered uncool. Maybe that's all changed now.
I can't find the artists link, but deleted songs are here: http://playground.last.fm/unwanted – at the moment The Beatles aren't in sight, but Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson seem to be a bit embarrassing for some.
The top Beatles tracks chart seems about right, I guess. I suppose it'd be dominated by songs on the 1 compilation (ie the singles). As for Come Together being top – I wonder if it was helped by being the first song on Abbey Road (and it's a very good song, of course!).
I'm surprised Yellow Submarine is higher than I Want To Hold Your Hand or Penny Lane, though.

Lol! If the Beatles are considered uncool, I'd better delete my Elvis Presley plays!
But if that's true, then there is surely a change (and some parts may have to do with the release of Rock Band). The last time I checked, the Beatles are the most played artists in Last.fm, seizing the top place from Radiohead. On the current weekly charts (which carries the 090909 remastered release), the Beatles have 10% more listeners than Muse in the second place and nearly 30% more plays.

This is what the list looked like as of Feb. 23:
1. Come Together
2. Let It Be
3. Yesterday
4. Here Comes The Sun
5. Eleanor Rigby
6. Something
7. All You Need Is Love
8. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
9. Help!
10 .Yellow Submarine
I'm not surprised by "Let it Be" or "Yesterday" because those have been popular since Noah got off the boat. How many times have those two songs been covered and re-covered by other artists?
Nice to see "Here Comes the Sun" getting some recognition, too, although I wonder if that has anything to do with its inclusion on the Bee Movie soundtrack?
Honestly, "Come Together" is a bit of a surprise. I love the song, but then again, I'm a die-hard fan, and I'm looking at this from the viewpoint of the general public who wouldn't have a lot of exposure to The Beatles. I would have to concur with the suggestion above: maybe it's just because it's the first song on Abbey Road.

Come Together has been used in tv commercials, and for their Rock Band game in particular, so it has some main stream appeal. I bet you could find an ad for each of those songs.

My favourite song's at 22, haha.
Meh. From what I've found, all the public cares about is the comercialized Beatles songs. It's only real fans that end up getting into others.

Such as "Hello, Goodbye" being used as the Target song…and the song "Revolution" being used for some weight loss commercial:P

John would have been thrilled that Come Together was ahead of Yesterday!
Honestly, to me, no surprises… the only song in the Top 10 I don't like is Yellow Submarine, but I can understand why it's high on the list…

Pretty good chart lists, Think its amazing how The Beatles are the top artist. And no offense to the fans, but I cannont stand Lady Gaga, I listened to the song 20 seconds, and had to turn it off.
