That’s Real Love

The Fab Four are back on top of the charts again. The Beatles’ “Anthology 2,” the second two-disc set in the three-part archival series that debuted with Vol. 1 last November, is the 17th album from the group to reach No. 1 on the U.S. chart. Not surprisingly, it also leads The Times’ Southern California album chart. And the album’s release sparked sales of “Real Love,” the single from the album.
