Given the massive success of the 2000 compilation 1, there's definitely a market for a solo-Beatles sequel. One of the nice things about the collection is that it is (relatively) non-subjective. These are just the hits that reached #1. Luckily, if one were to compile the #1 hits of Paul, John, George, and Ringo - it's total length, 1 hr. 17 min., would fit on a single CD. So what would it include...?

As we can see, Paul was the most successful with eleven of the disc's nineteen tracks. John and George only got three apiece while Ringo only got two. So overall it is a very uneven listen. Especially when taken chronologically. But with the right packaging and marketing, this could probably sell pretty well. Nowhere as nearly as well as the original however.
