Over time, the album became viewed as among The Beatles’ best and many critics have ranked it as one of the greatest albums of all time.

Abbey Road spent 81 weeks on the UK albums chart, 12 weeks at #1 on the Billboard chart and was certified 12-times platinum by the RIAA in 2001, selling in excess of 31 million copies.
