    The Beatles had 21 songs hit the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, which gives them the record for the most # 1 hits in the rock era.

    Love Me Do # 1 for one week
    She Loves You # 1 for two weeks
    I Want To Hold Your Hand # 1 for seven weeks
    Can't Buy Me Love # 1 for five weeks
    A Hard Days Night # 1 for two weeks
    I Feel Fine # 1 for three weeks
    Eight Days A Week # 1 for two weeks
    Ticket To Ride # 1 for one week
    Help! # 1 for three weeks
    Yesterday # 1 for four weeks
    We Can Work It Out # 1 for three weeks
    Paperback Writer # 1 for two weeks
    Penny Lane # 1 for one week
    All You Need Is Love # 1 for one week
    Hello, Goodbye # 1 for three weeks
    Hey Jude # 1 for nine weeks
    Get Back # 1 for five weeks
    Something # 1 for one week
    Come Together # 1 for one week
    Let It Be # 1 for two weeks
    The Long And Winding Road # 1 for two weeks

    In response to Liz Lackey's claim that because Come Together/Something was a double A side #1 they, the Beatles only had 20 #1 hits. Billboard magazine, which is where I got my information is regarded as the industry standard when it comes to such things, as they have been keeping charts of the music hits of the day for over 60 years, and they, Billboard say that the Beatles have 21 #1 hits and they, Billboard count Come Together/Something as two seperate entities. And this isn't some pro-Beatles bias, Billboard did the exact same thing with regards to some of Elvis Presleys songs.

    As for "For You Blue", it never came anywhere near the Top 10.

    As I said previously, my information comes from Billboard Magazine which is considered the industry standard when it comes to music charts and records.

    • Would you like to count "For You Blue" as a #1 as well? Check Fred Bronson's books, it's where I get my info.
