The Beatles' newly released single, "Now and Then," debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart after selling 16,000 downloads in the U.S. in just one day. It also tops the Rock Digital Song Sales chart and enters other charts such as Hot Rock Songs and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs. The song marks The Beatles' first leader on each retail ranking and is their final recorded song, completed and released this year using new technology to extract John Lennon's vocals from a 1977 demo.
