prehistory
On June 4, 1962, the Beatles got their contract with Parlophone and recorded their first single on September 4 of the same year. It was unusual for the time that the first publication by an unknown group contained two original compositions. Love Me Do and PS I Love You were both from Lennon / McCartney . The single, which was released on October 5, 1962, did not reach the top of the charts - and it is said that Brian Epstein bought a large amount himself to help make the record a success, but sold well enough to get a second To release single with the Beatles.
George Martin had chosen the song How Do You Do It composed by Mitch Murray for the second single , from which a recording was made, but the Beatles were of the opinion that it was not their style and therefore wanted to record their own material again. The Beatles suggested Please Please Me , written by Lennon, and after it was revised it became the A-side of the second single, which came out on January 11, 1963. The B-side Ask Me Why was also written by Lennon and McCartney. The record sold more than 300,000 copies in the UK, made it to the top of the charts and was awarded a Silver Record.
The group's third single was released on April 11, 1963. From Me to You (B-side: Thank You Girl ) peaked at number 1 on the UK charts and sold more than 250,000 copies.
On August 23, 1963, the fourth single She Loves You (B-side: I'll Get You ) was released. The single had pre-orders of 500,000 copies and She Loves You reached number 1 on the British charts on September 4th. By the end of 1963, 1.3 million singles had been sold. This made She Loves You the most successful release of 1963 in Great Britain.
On November 29, 1963, I Want to Hold Your Hand (B-side: This Boy ), the group's fifth single, was released. There were more than 940,000 pre-orders for this single just before it was released. It entered the charts at number 1 and held the top position for six weeks. More than 1.5 million singles have been sold in the UK.
The sixth single, Can't Buy Me Love (B-side: You Can't Do That ) was released on March 20, 1964. The enormous popularity of the Beatles was reflected in the unprecedented number of one million pre-orders in Great Britain alone this single reflected, which, like its predecessor, immediately took first place on the singles chart, where it remained for four weeks. More than 1.2 million singles have been sold in the UK.
On July 10th, the seventh single with the title track for the Beatles' first feature film was released. A Hard Day's Night (B-side: Things We Said Today ) did the same as its two predecessors and immediately took the top spot in the charts. More than 1 million singles have been sold in the UK.
The eighth single was released on November 27, 1964. I Feel Fine (B-side: She's a Woman ) built on the success of the previous singles and came straight to number 1. By December, a million copies had been sold, with the Beatles five singles in a row have sold more than a million copies in the UK.
On April 9, 1965, Ticket to Ride (B-side: Yes It Is ) was the first single of the year. Like its four predecessors, it immediately reached number 1 on the British charts and held this position for five weeks. More than 700,000 singles were sold in Great Britain.
Almost a week before the premiere of the second feature film , the title track Help! Was released on July 23, 1965 . (B-side: I'm Down ) released as a single. Once again, a Beatles single reached the top spot on the British charts. There were pre-orders of 300,000 copies for the single. Half a million records were sold in the UK in the first week of its release, for a total of over 900,000.
Parlophone released the third single and the second album of the year on December 3, 1965 at the same time. Day Tripper / We Can Work It Out , was the Beatles' first double A-side single, both songs are not on the Rubber Soul album . This single also immediately made it to the top of the charts. More than 1 million singles have been sold in the UK.
The Beatles' twelfth single was released on June 10, 1966. On the A-side was the McCartney composition Paperback Writer , on the B-side Rain by Lennon . The single entered the charts at number 2 and reached number 1 on June 22, 1966, selling more than 500,000 copies in Great Britain.
On August 5, 1966, the Beatles single Eleanor Rigby / Yellow Submarine and the seventh studio album Revolver came on the market. Eleanor Rigby / Yellow Submarine was the group's 13th single and also the second double A-side single. In late 1966, over 455,000 singles were sold in the UK.
It was the first year in which the Beatles fully concentrated on their work in the recording studio, after they had decided not to give concerts after their USA tour in August 1966.
The Beatles' 14th single was released on February 17, 1967. Penny Lane / Strawberry Fields Forever was the third double A-side single. Originally planned for the upcoming album, these two pieces were pre-released. Since both sides were counted separately, this Beatles single did not reach number one on the charts, but only number two and sold more than 500,000 copies in the UK.
After the Beatles represented Great Britain on June 25, 1967, on the first worldwide broadcast live television program " Our World " with the specially composed piece All You Need Is Love , the 15th Beatles single came out shortly after on July 7, 1967 the market: All You Need Is Love with the song Baby You're a Rich Man on the B-side. The single reached first place on the British charts and sold over 500,000 copies there.
It was not until November 24, 1967, before a new Beatles record was released. The single Hello, Goodbye (B-side: I Am the Walrus ) entered the British charts in third place, reached the top position a week later and stayed there for the next six weeks, again selling over 500,000 copies.
On March 15, 1968, the single Lady Madonna (B-side: The Inner Light ) was released. The Beatles had recorded the single before they left for India . The B-side The Inner Light was written by George Harrison. It was the first Harrison composition to appear on a Beatles single. The single entered the UK charts at number 6 and then climbed to number one, selling a total of 250,000 singles in Great Britain.
It was not until August 26, 1968, before another record came onto the market with the single Hey Jude / Revolution . This single was the first Beatles release on their newly formed Apple label . Apart from the collage Revolution 9 , Hey Jude is the Beatles title with the longest playing time with a running time of over seven minutes. The single entered the British charts in third place and then took the top spot for three weeks. By the end of 1968, the singles had been sold over 800,000 times in the UK.
Work on the Get Back project was initially completed on January 31, 1969. Two of the pieces that were created while recording this project appeared on April 11, 1969 on the single Get Back (B-side: Don't Let Me Down ), which stayed at number one on the British charts for five weeks and sold over 530,000 times there.
On May 30, 1969, the second Beatles single of the year followed: The Ballad of John and Yoko (B-side: Old Brown Shoe ). The song on the A-side was from Lennon, who then described his wedding to Yoko Ono and the following actions for peace - such as Bagism - during their honeymoon , the piece was only recorded by Lennon and McCartney. On the B-side there was another composition by George Harrison, which was recorded without Ringo Starr. It was the Beatles' first single to be released exclusively as a stereo version. The single was number 1 on the British charts for two weeks, where the single sold over 300,000 copies. It was the last single to hit number one on the UK charts.
The conflict-ridden work at the beginning of the year and the technically simple recordings - the band almost completely dispensed with overdubs and played the pieces live - that came about during the Get-Back project was followed by the Beatles' last collaboration as a group. On September 26, 1969, the result of the effort was published under the title Abbey Road .
At the urging of the new Beatles manager Allen Klein , the single Something / Come Together was decoupled from the album Abbey Road on October 31, 1969 . It was a double A-side single, so for the first time a piece by George Harrison was found on the A-side of a Beatles single. Position 4 was the best placement in the UK charts.
With one exception, the material came from the recordings made at the beginning of 1969. The project, which was now called Let It Be and had become a documentary with accompanying soundtrack , was further delayed. In the meantime the differences in the group had increased. On January 3rd and 4th, 1970, McCartney, Harrison and Starr met for the last time at Abbey Road Studios to record overdubs for the soundtrack of Let It Be .
On March 6, 1970, Let It Be appeared with the B-side You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) , the Beatles' last single in Great Britain. Her best chart position was a second place. Between 1962 and 1970, the Beatles released 22 singles in the UK with EMI , 17 of which reached number one in the UK charts.
