It was exactly 50 years ago today...
The Beatles occupy
the Billboard Hot 100 top 5
9.00am, Saturday 4 April 1964 (50 years ago)
In an achievement unlikely to ever be equalled, for the week of 4 April 1964 The Beatles occupied the top five positions of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In all they had 12 places on the US chart.
The chart placings were as follows, with the respective record labels in brackets:
There were also two Beatles tribute records on the list: We Love You Beatles by The Carefrees at 42, and A Letter To The Beatles by The Four Preps at 85.
The following week two more Beatles singles entered the chart: There's A Place (at 74) and Love Me Do (81).
Het was toen dat ene Robert Zimmerman zei: "Met die kerels zullen we nog rekening moeten houden!"...
The Ed Sullivan Show vond plaats op 11 februari 1964. Meer dan 70 miljoen Amerikanen zaten voor de buis!
Later werd Bob Dylan een goede vriend van The Beatles.
Beatlemania ten top!
Bedankt, John-Paul-George en Ringo voor deze prachtige muzikale momenten!
