The Beatles now have The Top Four songs on The Super Chart ...
And a total of TWELVE songs in The Top 100 ...
An unheard domination of the American charts
Their Top Four Hits are "She Loves You," "I Want To Hold Your Hand," "Twist And Shout" and "Please Please Me."
Meanwhile, their latest release, "Can't Buy Me Love" skyrockets from #94 to #24 ... a move of 70 places, the biggest we've ever seen. (This single had advance orders of over one million copies ... meaning that no matter WHAT record The Beatles were going to release next, it was going to ship as a gold record!)
You'll also find The Fab Four at #37 ("I Saw Her Standing There"), #47 ("From Me To You"), "#52 ("Roll Over Beethoven"), #57 ("My Bonnie"), #88 ("All My Loving," another Canadian import), #89 ("Do You Want To Know A Secret") and #100 ("Thank You Girl," which is the flip side of "Do You Want To Know A Secret.")
12% of the best-selling singles in America are by Liverpool's Beatles!
Other British Invasion Acts on the chart this week include The Dave Clark Five at #10 with "Glad All Over" (they're also "bubbling under" at #104 with their next US single, "Bits And Pieces"), The Searchers at #20 with "Needles And Pins," The Swinging Blue Jeans (#28 - "Hippy Hippy Shake") and Dusty Springfield, who can be found at #32 with "I Only Want To Be With You" and #90 with "Stay Awhile."
Check out #95 - It's the Cassius Clay / "Stand By Me" 45 we told you about!!!
