Original release

The album debuted at number one on October 4, 1969, and spent 11 weeks at the top. It fell to number two just before Christmas, but returned to the top for six more weeks.

50th anniversary release

The album returned to number one in 2019 with a deluxe reissue that included previously unheard material from the recording sessions. This set a new UK chart record for the longest time between number one appearances by the same album.

Who wrote that article? That movie was never the most successful R rated movie. In 2003 Matrix Reloaded was released and made over $700m and in the time since it was released 8 other movies have made more money than it, with Joker & D&W both making over a billion dollars.

Even in those cities with it, public transportation is failing. The systems are archaic and outdated.

These fucks are the reason AI advancement is needed. Keep the workers and drop the C-suites in favor of AI replacements. How do you steal 1 million and nobody notices?! Then multiply that question by 42!?
