George Harrison is back on the charts in his own country, with fans flocking to what may be his most celebrated solo album.

The former Beatles member first released All Things Must Pass on his own, and the title reappears on a couple of UK rankings this month courtesy to a Record Store Day-specific limited-edition reissue.

That boost is enough to relaunch the iconic full-length as a bestseller — for the first time in years.

All Things Must Pass is back in the charts.
This week, All Things Must Pass ranks on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales rankings.

The former ranking only covers traditional physical formats such as CD, vinyl, and cassette, but the latter is slightly more comprehensive and includes digital purchases as well.

Harrison’s All Things Must Pass has returned to No. 64 on the Official Physical Albums Chart. It also makes a comeback on the Official Albums Sales chart, landing at number 68.

The newfound interest in All Things Must Pass is due to Record Store Day 2025. A reissue of the collection in a collectible new format was one of the highlights of this spring’s event.

Dark Horse Records, which handles Harrison’s legacy releases, has been reissuing his discography in special editions for quite some time. The latest is a limited-edition zoetrope picture disk of his debut solo album.

All Things Must Pass was a milestone success.

A No. 1 in the U.K., but not on all charts

All Things Must Pass made its debut on the main Official Albums chart in 1970, and by early 1971, it had soared all the way to number one.

It remained at that place for eight consecutive frames, cementing Harrison’s status as a solo celebrity following The Beatles’ breakup.

The two rankings where the title occurs in this frame did not exist at the time of its initial release. More than 30 years after its debut, All Things Must Pass made its first appearance on the Official Physical Albums list in early 2001.

Two decades later, the collection peaked at number three on the Official Albums Sales chart. It has never topped either tally, but it has come close, finishing one rung below the summit in the physical-only list.

All Things Must Pass was a milestone success.

All Things Must Pass, released in 1970, was Harrison’s first proper solo album following The Beatles’ disintegration, and it became an instant success.

The record was praised for its composition and emotional depth, and it cemented Harrison’s reputation as a hitmaker and strong performer in his own right, rather than just the “quiet Beatle.”

The effort produced the hit “My Sweet Lord,” which peaked at number one in both the United Kingdom and the United States.

That victory made Harrison the first former Beatles member to have a solo chart-topper on both sides of the Atlantic.

It also garnered him a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year, which he eventually lost but won the following year for a different product.
