The Beatles: Rock Band - 19 of Last 20 Songs Revealed

Looking at the breakdown by studio album* it appears that they've set up a few albums to be big DLC money makers. That seems unnecessary as I'm sure they will make plenty off of this, regardless.

The breakdown* (as I see it):

  • Please Please Me: 4
  • With The Beatles: 1
  • A Hard Day's Night: 2
  • Beatles for Sale: 1
  • Help!: 1
  • Rubber Soul: 3
  • Revolver: 3
  • Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: 6
  • Magical Mystery Tour: 2
  • White Album: 6
  • Yellow Submarine: 1
  • Abbey Road: 5
  • Let It Be: 4
  • Non-Album Singles: 5

September 9th is less than a month away and I hope the hype machine has completed its course. A game and name of this magnitude doesn't really need anything else to carry it the last few weeks.
