1. after capital yes, Cairo no. There should also be one after people
2.Meet the Beatles should be in quotes, underlined, or in italics. And both should have commas.

My suggestion:
With around 10 million people, the Egyptian capital Cairo is the largest city in Africa.
"Meet the Beatles", the Beatles' first US album, was one of the fastest-selling albums of all time.
(the Beatles' first US album is an appositive and needs to be offset on both sides by commas) :-D

Good luck. 5 commas in all.

AND NOW FOR THE CORRECT ANSWER:
With around 10 million people, the egyptian capital, Cairo, is the largest city in Africa.
The first group of words is a subordinate clause and needs a comma after "people". The word "Cairo" is an appositive and also needs one.
Meet the Beatles, the Beatles' first U.S. album, was one of the fastest-selling albums of all time.
the words "the Beatles' first U.S. album" is also a subordinate clause.

Commas not needed surrounding Cairo, it is a one-word dependent clause. But there should be one after "people"; that ends an independent clause. As for Beatles, commas are needed in both places; "the Beatles' first US album" is an independent clause so they are required.

yes a comma should go after "Cairo" and before "capitol". No just after "Meet the Beatles."
