Best of The Beatles Accomplishments

The Top Ten
1 Held Top 5 Positions On The Billboard Charts (U.S.) (1964)

Best Band Ever, is a massive statement but I think holding 5 top positions in the billboard when sales were on units sold not on clicks, will never be matched.

Yep I think the best band in the world, who would think this little island could have so much talent and all from Liverpool.

Some things make one proud of British music culture.

I think they should change the rule on this. I think if your bands song is preventing another of your bands songs from hitting #1 it should be #1 too. So if your have the top 2 songs on the charts, then both songs should be #1

If This ever happens again. The group or artist that breaks the record is going to be bad ass, but I don't think it will ever happen again. The closest will be Top 3 someday.

This is the one world record that will never be beating! Also that year on the Australian charts they actually had the top 6 on the charts

2 Highest Selling Band Ever

The Beatles are officially the highest-selling music artistes of all time, having sold over a billion copies under their name.

The Beatles deserved what they got, they have been working so hard for their fame.

Seriously guys? Not even the top 10?

Amazing if its all true

3 Most Songs In Top 40 At One Time (12) (1964)

There will never be a group like the beatles again they were once in a lifetime group.

4 First To Have A Promotional Video (1966)

Not an easy task...

6 First Performance On The First Satellite Hook Up Around The World (1967)
7 Are the #2 selling artist of the 21st Century, over 40 years after they broke up.
8 Most #1 Hits In One Year (6) (1964) (U.S.)

They actually had 7 if you count "A World Without Love" by Peter And Gordon which was written by Paul McCartney hit #1. In the U.K. that song and "I'll Be On My Way" by Bill J. Kramer also written by Paul McCartney both hit #1

9 First To Have Backwards Music In Songs
10 Most #1 Singles (20) (U.S.)

All these accomplishments in less than 7 years of recording together.

Any group would be glad to have just one or two, 20 amazing!
