This interested me: last.fm and the Stones I discovered that you can see charts based on the listening habits of last.fm users and the countries they live in.→[More:]

In UK, Canada and USA, the Stones aren't in the top 50, whereas the Beatles are. And yet the Stones are one of the biggest concert draws on the planet. Initially I thought it was just because they're an older group whose fans might not be down with the internet thing, but I think the popularity of the Beatles in those charts disproves that. At least I think it does. The Stones do appear in France's and Spain's charts, but not in those for Italy, Denmark or Germany either (all which are depressingly full of non-native music). I'm bored of checking countries now, but can anyone think why the Stones are so massively popular in real life but seemingly less so online?
