One of the worst ideas for a musical ever...and I love it.
From Wikipedia:
Although the
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band debuted at #5 in the U.S. Billboard album charts and stayed there for six weeks, becoming a multi-platinum album, there was reported resistance to the interpretation of The Beatles' songs, such as Martin's comedic take on "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". However
Earth, Wind & Fire's version of "Got To Get You Into My Life" became a million selling single and
Aerosmith's "Come Together" charted in the top 40 and later appeared on the soundtrack for
Armageddon.
Radio airplay trailed off when the film was released with poor reviews, only five weeks later. The album immediately dropped out of the top 100 and pre-sale shipments to USA failed to sell in the quantities predicted. Owing to low box office receipts the film failed to make back its production costs, but profits from the sound track album and the successful singles it spawned later covered those losses.
