Kings of stadium rock Journey have notched up a remarkable achievement with their 1981 rock anthem Don't Stop Believin'. The track has become the biggest selling catalogue track on the digital download store iTunes.
Although Don't Stop Believin' only appeared as a digital download in April 2003, it has rocketed to the top of the catalogue chart with sales of over 2million units. Catalogue tracks are defined as songs originally released in the pre-digital era but later re-released as a digital download.
It's thought the renewed popularity of the track is due to its use on the final episode of HBO's mob drama The Sopranos. Sales of the track soared in the week following the airing of the final episode.
SPOILER ALERT. We've posted the final scene of The Sopranos which features Don't Stop Believin' below.
