The Biggest Hits and Misses From the Beatles’ Solo Careers

George Harrison's best solo album is also his biggest hit, having sold more than all of his other LPs combined. John Lennon's worst solo album is likewise his lowest-selling classic-era release. He barely cracked the Top 50, much less the Top 40.

For instance, Lennon's second proper solo project, 1971's double-platinum chart-topping Imagine, was the top-seller released under his own name. Yet the following list of best (and worst) solo albums by every member of the Beatles doesn't include it.
