Remarks

A1The first version of Introducing… The Beatles appeared on January 10, 1964, but was replaced by an alternative version on February 10, 1964 because Vee-Jay did not have the necessary licenses for the songs Love Me Do and PS I Love You . The second version of the album therefore contains the pieces Please Please Me and Ask Me Why instead .
A2 The Beatles' Second Album was not officially released in Germany, but was offered to members of the British and US military in PX shops . In this way, the album reached a chart position in Germany.
A3 Songs, Pictures & Stories of the Fabulous Beatles is Introducing… The Beatles among other titles and a different cover.
A4 Rock 'n' Roll Music was re-released two single albums with a new cover design on October 27, 1980.
1 Chart entry Switzerland: October 3, 1993. Chart listing Swiss albums only from 1983.

Singles

Only three singles were produced in Austria, the other singles were imported from Germany. The label was not Odeon , as in Germany , but Parlophone (not to be confused with the British Parlophone label, which ends with an e in the spelling ). In Switzerland neither singles nor albums of the Beatles were pressed, but also imported from Germany. Between 1965 and 1967, ten singles were produced in Germany specifically for Switzerland and given an independent Swiss catalog number from Odeon . The single We Can Work It Out / Day Tripper was pressed in the United Kingdom for export to Switzerland, but the single cover was made in Germany. Since the chart listing for singles in Austria only started at the end of 1964 and in Switzerland only from the end of 1967, I Feel Fine is the Beatles' first placed single in Austria in November 1964. In Switzerland, Hello, Goodbye was the first single in November Place 1967. In addition, it should be noted that the chart weeks contain all placement weeks due to re-entries due to re-releases, both on CD and in digital form.

Remarks

S1The information comes from the Hit-Bilanz directory . Notwithstanding , Musikmarkt names position 1 for the A-side Come on, give me your hand . However, the English version I Want to Hold Your Hand is also named in brackets. Since the English version, which was listed at number 15 in the previous month, no longer appears in the charts after the German version appeared, the two versions may not have been evaluated separately by Musikmarkt .
S2 In the November 1964 hit parade, Musikmarkt named the B-side I Should Have Known Better in 6th place. In the following December issue, the sound carrier was recorded with both titles; Together they are ranked 11. Hit-Bilanz only names I Should Have Known Better at position 6, as does Charts.de .
S3 Musikmarkt placed No Reply in 5th place in April 1965 , one month later Eight Days a Week was in 17th place. Hit-Bilanz and Charts.de each named Eight Days a Week in fifth place.
S4 Double A side ; Musikmarkt names both titles jointly in first place. Hit-Bilanz and Charts.de each show Come Together as the number one hit.

GDR

In addition to works by artists from the GDR , the Amiga music label also published selected singles and LPs by artists from western countries under license from the mid-1960s . The label belonged to the sound carrier producer VEB Deutsche Schallplatten Berlin and was subordinate to the Ministry of Culture in the VEB . The records were usually sold out quickly because of the small overall supply of Western music and the usually low print runs - Michael Rauhut mentions a contractual agreement of 10,000 copies per license pressing.

Singles

The following three Beatles singles were released in the GDR between February and April 1965:
