Music for Roctober - #18 - The Beatles
Let's put The Beatles in context. Between 1963 and 1970, the band released 12 original albums; in that same time, The Beatles had twenty Billboard #1 hits. In the UK, among the seventeen #1's were seven different #1's than those found on the Billboard charts. That makes twenty-seven #1 hits. How big is 27? The next closest is Mariah Carey with eighteen. Michael Jackson had thirteen #1's. The Beatles scored their #1's in just six years while it took Carey eighteen years and Jackson twenty-three years.
The band's first #1 hit in the U.S. was "I Want To Hold Your Hand". The details of the song can be read here. Or you can just watch and listen:
