The Beatles Still Topping Billboard Music Charts after 50 Years


Jonathan David has served as the chief executive officer of Tapstone Holdings since 2013. In this position, he has launched more than 100 effective advertising campaigns. Beyond his work at Tapstone Holdings, Jonathan David is a big music fan who enjoys the new music, as well as classics like Radiohead and The Beatles.

An interesting fact about is that the Beatles released 20 songs that topped the Billboard charts between 1962 and 1970, an all-time record. All 20 of these singles were collected into one album for the first time in 1982, and simply titled 20 Greatest Hits. In 2000, another greatest-hits album featuring the Beatles’ 20 number one singles, as well as several additional popular Beatles’ tracks, was released under the title 1.

Since its initial release, 1 has gone on to sell more than 31 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling album in the UK since 1991, the fourth highest-selling album in the United States. 1 has been remastered and reissued on several occasions, most recently in the summer of 2015 as 1+. While 1 is considered a greatest-hits collection, it has sold more copies than any of the group's studio albums.

Remote Destinations around the World

A serial entrepreneur, Jonathan David has been creating and building businesses since the age of 18. Currently leading Tapstone Holdings, LLC, as CEO, he is responsible for developing the company’s overall strategy and overseeing its daily operations. When he’s not busy running Tapstone Holdings, Jonathan “Jon” David enjoys traveling to remote destinations.

Visiting remote destinations gives travelers a break from modern luxuries while exposing them to sights largely untouched by tourists. Here are a few of the world’s most intriguing remote locations:

- Sakhalin Island: Located off the eastern coast of Russia, Sakhalin Island is largely uninhabited. The island, which has only been open to visitors since 1990, is populated by the Nivkh people, who enjoy sharing their traditions and customs with visitors.

- Deception Island: For those travelers who can brave the cold air, Deception Island in Antarctica is an active volcano’s semi-submerged caldera. It has been a safe harbor for several years and features geothermally heated water, an old whaling station, and the continent’s largest cemetery.

- Urumqi: Although this city in China is served by several airlines, it is regarded as one of the more remote cities in the country. Urumqi rests more than 1,500 miles from the nearest coast and is a great spot for horseback riding, hiking, and enjoying the Alps-like views.

The Canadian Origins of Ice Hockey


Serial entrepreneur Jonathan David is the CEO and founder of Tapstone Holdings, LLC, in West Hollywood. As CEO, he develops the company’s overall strategy and business development. When he is not busy leading Tapstone Holdings, Jonathan “Jon” David enjoys playing ice hockey.

The true origin of ice hockey is often debated. Some parties say it originated from lacrosse, while others claim it came from the Micmac Indian sport called hurling.– However, it is generally agreed that modern ice hockey was created in Canada in the 1850s by British soldiers.

Written logs of the first ice hockey games exist, but none of the rules were written down until 1879 when students at McGill University decided to legitimize the game a bit. These rules differed slightly from the original form of the game. The new rules stated that a puck should be used instead of a ball. Additionally, these new rules declared that each hockey team should have nine players.

Within a year, Canada began to see a number of amateur ice hockey leagues and clubs spring up. The sport was introduced to the United States in 1893 and had spread to Europe by the turn of the century.

Over the years, ice hockey’s popularity grew rapidly. Ice hockey has the oldest sports trophy in North America and was added as an Olympic sport in 1920. Yet, despite the sport’s popularity and various equipment advances made over time, ice hockey’s rules have largely stayed the same with the exception of the decrease from nine players per team to six and the addition of netting to the goal.
