In Pursuit of Trivia - Fab Four Style (and avoiding copyright infringement)

The Beatles Occupy the Entire Top 5 on Billboard Hot 100: 48 Years Ago Today | Billboard.biz

Yes, that's right folks!  It was 48 years ago today, the pre-Sgt.Pepper's Band held sway.  Billboard Magazine's Hot 100 chart showed that the Beatles owned the Top 5 spots on the Chart!

  • At #1 Can't Buy Me Love, which entered the chart on 3/28/64 and became the group's third number one single!
  • At #2 Twist and Shout, entering the chart on 3/14/64 and stayed at number two for four weeks!
  • At #3 She Loves You, their second released single and second #1, grabbing the top spot for two weeks.  It charted on 1/25/64!
  • At #4 I Want to Hold Your Hand, entering the charts on 1/18/64 and becoming the Beatles' first number one song, holding the top spot for seven weeks!
  • At #5 Please Please Me, which entered the chart on 2/02/64 and peaked at #3.
Trivia buffs, there's your fix for today!!!
