January 25th, 1964

60 YEARS AGO TODAY:

1/25/64 - The Beatles get their first US #1 Record, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" in Cash Box Magazine.  

It will hit the #1 spot in Billboard a week later on February 1st, staying in the #1 position for the next seven weeks before ultimately being replaced at the top of the charts by “She Loves You,” also by The Beatles  


We are just two weeks away from The Beatles appearing on "The Ed Sullivan Show" ... and the end of the state of music as we currently know it.
