According to Chart Masters, they are the 32nd highest selling music acts of all time, selling more than 128 million albums worldwide. Holy dang. In total, they have released 29 studio albums, 11 live albums, and 56 compilation albums. They’ve had at least 80 hit songs. They’re also one of the most influential bands. A surprising number of bands wouldn’t probably wouldn’t exist today if not for The Beach Boys. Brian Wilson, in particular, continues to be recognized as basically a musical genius- one of the most innovative and creative dudes in history. The Beach Boys changed pop music forever, making it more youth-oriented and reaching broader audiences than ever before imagined. If you’ve ever heard a jingle in a commercial, you can thank The Beach Boys…or perhaps curse them…for that jingle being stuck in your head all day. ‘Cause you see, every song they made was basically as catchy as a jingle. They made harmonies cool. They made sweet melodies hip. Their songs continue to make tens of millions of people smile. #thebeachboys #musicdocumentary #behindthemusic
