Top 20 Beatles Hits

The premier rock group was formed in Liverpool, England in the late 1950's. When they first started out, The Beatles went under such names as The Quarrymen, Johnny and the Moondogs, The Rainbows, and the Silver Beatles, before settling on the Beatles in 1960.

The original lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stu Sutcliffe and Pete Best. In April 1961, Sutcliffe left the group and died of a brain hemorrhage, one year later. Best left in 1962 and was replaced with Richard Starkey, aka Ringo Starr.

From there on, the group remained, until Paul McCartney announced their breakup on April 10, 1970. The group was managed by Brian Epstein, who died of a sleeping pill overdose in 1967 and they were produced by George Martin.

The Beatles first U.S. tour came in February, 1964. That was also the year they won the Best New Artist Grammy Award. They also earned Grammy's Trustees Award in 1972. In 1968 they became owners of the Apple record label.

They appeared in the movies "A Hard Day's Night" in 1964, "Help!" in 1965 and "Magical Mystery Tour" in 1967. They also provided the voices in the 1968 cartoon "Yellow Submarine."

According to Billboard magazine, The Beatles topped the singles charts twenty times and made it onto the weekly Top 40, forty-nine times, between 1964 and 1976. The closest artist to come to this record is Elvis Presley, who went to #1 eighteen times. Below, are The Beatles 20 biggest hits, all number one. Many of the Beatles B-sides also cracked the top 40 and are duly noted.

1. Hey Jude - 1968 - The number one song of 1968 and the B-side, "Revolution" going to #12 on the weekly charts.

2. I Want To Hold Your Hand - 1964 - The Beatles first U.S. hit with the B-side "I Saw Her Standing There" also going Top 20.

15. Eight Days A Week - 1965 - "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" was the B-side of this hit single and just barely cracked the weekly Top 40.

16. Come Together - 1969 - The flip side of this single, "Something" went to #3 on the weekly charts.

17. Love Me Do - 1964 - This song and the B-side, "P.S. I Love You" were both recorded in September 1962 and featured Andy White on drums and newly added band member, Ringo Starr on tambourine.

18. Ticket To Ride - 1965 - Another song featured in the film "Help!"

19. Penny Lane - 1967 - Another two sided hit, this time featuring "Strawberry Fields Forever" going to #8 on the weekly charts.

20. All You Need Is Love - 1967 - Featuring "Baby You're A Rich Man" as the B-side.

The Beatles were able to crack the weekly Top 10 charts one more time. Six years after the dissolution of the band, in 1976, and ten years after the release of their album "Revolver" the single, "Got To Get You Into My Life" went to #7.

All four Beatles had #1 songs, after The Beatles were no more. The Beatles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. They will forever be known as the world's #1 rock group.

George Harrison's Seven Best Beatles Songs

#1 "Something"

Frank Sinatra called "Something" the greatest Lennon/McCartney song. I'm not sure if that was a dig at John & Paul or if he didn't really know it was written by George Harrison. But either way it's one of The Beatles most beautiful and most timeless songs, and that's saying quite a lot.

#2 "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

This is a real epic rock song that featured George's friend Eric Clapton playing the guitar solo. Everything about this song is perfect from the dark mood to the poetic lyrics.

#3 "Here Comes The Sun"

When I think about The Beatles this is often one of the first songs I think about. Everything about it is beautiful.

#4 "It's All Too Much"

This is one of The Beatles most underrated songs, it's fitting that it's a George song as he's the most underrated Beatle! You can find this one on either the original Yellow Submarine album or the far superior Yellow Submarine "Songtrack" that came out in 1999. It's a real psychedelic epic.

#5 "Taxman"

Here's a little Beatles trivia, Paul McCartney actually played the guitar solo on this composition. Paul's solo was inspired by Jimi Hendrix who was just getting to be well known in the UK at the time of this song's recording in 1966.

#6 "Within You Without You"

Many people don't appreciate this Indian style jam in the middle of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band but I think it's an essential part of the album. I think it's brilliant how "far out" (or "far in" perhaps?) it takes you before you end up back at McCartney's "When I'm 64" which has an entirely different vibe.

#7 "If I Needed Someone"

Another bit of Beatles trivia: This was the only song that Harrison wrote that was ever played during The Beatles tours. This makes sense because by the time George had really come into his own as a songwriter, the band was no longer touring.

The four best albums of the psychedelic Beatles

These are the four Beatles albums that you need if you are into psychedelic music. I do not will order (except alphabetical), so you really need all four of them and I do not think you think you can get away with leaving one of them from your list.

Magical Mystery Tour (1967)

This is probably the most targeted trippy Beatles album. Almost every song on the album is with the mind melting madness of one kind or another outbreakwhether it's experimental production, the unusual mode of song, and / or unusual songwriting. "I Am The Walrus" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" would be John Lennon in his "crazy". These are the songs that was full of "kitchen sink" production, the lyrics bizarre, unexpected song arrangements. It 's all there. "Flying", "Blue Jay Way" and the title track "Magical Mystery Tour", the songs are designed to melt the minds and they justDass

Revolver (1966)

What songs brililant. And what an extraordinary variety of music albums in a compact. There is more variety in this album 35 minutes more bands career. And it's all done so incredibly well. And then there's "Tomorrow Never Knows", which may well have been the farthest-out song The Beatles ever recorded.

Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)

This is a journey. That the "concept"is not so tight, but I think that's why it works so well. It 's like you go to a carnival to hear these different incarnations of the band itself. Once again, a wild variety of different musical styles, but unlike revolvers, each of the songs sound somewhat related as well. This is an amazing feat of making "Within You Without You" and "When I'm 64" has a meaning together on the same album.

This is an album that has become so legendary thatI sometimes think that people really do not appreciate how big it is. It is not overrated. It 'really that good. If you think otherwise, could not have done this stage, where you want to be just for him for herself in a different way.

The White Album (1968)

I talk a lot about different in this article, because this is one of the things I like most of the Beatles' music, and is one of the things that I think that makes listening to their albums in the same way on the left. Well,This is the climax of this variety. There are 30 tracks here and a vast majority of them are completely different from the other 29 songs on the album. In many ways this is the last trip of the Beatles and I think it's their best album ever (psychedelic or not.)

And then there's "Revolution # 9". It is difficult, much of the psychedelic. If you listen very closely to this title, the headphones is very likely to get pretty scared, and I think that makes this songa very successful piece of sound art.

During this period, nearly half a century after their separation immediately known, the band is still in the retail trade with over 30 million CDs, and this is quite amazing. Their forays into the electronic world, are still much more rare: the last in 2009, EMI exclusive edition USB devices that virtually all of the fourteen included records of the Fab FourStudio LPS.

Several bloggers have noted, if the event is not the Beatleswhat the younger audience and is looking seriously not what the beef industry needs income online tunes. The setbacks in the contract must be drawn to a certain extent to account for this: it was reported that Apple faced with an unusually slow method, in which the two surviving members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr and relatives of the deceased rockers George Harrison and John Lennon, and EMI, including the company should be able to reach an agreement.

Eventhen the inclusion of rock music band in iTunes very exciting announcement for all music lovers and for the Internet era. This method is absolutely integral to relive the band's songs over and over again, and this type of music in the modern age of individuals who are part of the online world can be shared.
