Breaking Down Why These 3 Beatles No. 1 Hits Are Some of Their Most Succesful
The Beatles hold several accolades that prove they are the most commercially and culturally successful band of all time. Between their 20 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, eight Grammy Awards, and insurmountable cultural influence, The Beatles’ success truly cannot be defined.
However, in regards to numbers, a few songs are certainly more successful than others. And today, we are going to try to define the robust success of three of The Beatles’ biggest hits. That being so, here are three of The Beatles’ most successful No. 1 hits of all time.
“She Loves You”
In addition to peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, The Beatles’ single, “She Loves You” became the best-selling UK single of the ’60s. As of 2022, the song became the ninth best-selling single in the history of the UK.
Beyond numbers, “She Love You” was the song that arguably garnered The Beatles both the spotlight and platform they needed to become an international sensation. Following the song’s 1963 release, The Beatles acquired mass notoriety and made their first US appearance a year later in 1964.
“Yesterday”
“Yesterday” by The Beatles remains a staple song for a melancholic day. Though, before it received its cross-generational appeal, the song dominated the charts and record store shelves. The song, unsurprisingly, peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at No. 4 on the UK charts.
