The Beatles Hit the Charts
By Matt Brown
For the first time, a book that fully documents how the Beatles took the world, country by country, chart by chart, singles and albums alike, during the eight remarkable years they recorded as a band (1962 through 1970), and into 1976, as John, Paul, George and Ringo pursued solo careers all the while being contractually tied together through their joint ownership and hands on management of Apple Records and Films.
The results of the various music charts are here … as well as excerpts from hundreds of vintage newspaper and magazine articles, all written at the very moment chart history was being made.
More than a book documenting our cherished yesterdays, The Beatles Hit the Charts is a trip into the past where "Yesterday" becomes today.
