Product Information

In another chart feat, The Beatles are the British act with the most Number 1 singles ever with 18 chart-toppers. Only Elvis has more with 21 Number 1s. Now And Then also signified another record-breaking gap - the band's last Number 1 prior to Now And Then was a whole 54 years earlier, 1969's The Ballad Of John And Yoko. We’ll let you know if your current broadband plan is available there. Or if you want to change your plan, we can sort that out too. A bittersweet coda to the most enduring partnership in all of pop. 18. Now and Then (Number 1, 2023)

Having been released six days into the Official Chart week and with just ten hours of sales counting toward its weekly total, on Friday 3 November 2023 Now And Then still managed to debut at Number 42 on the UK's Official Singles Chart. 48 hours later on the Official Charts First Look bulletin for the new chart week, Now And Then had catapulted out in front in the midweeks, with Official Charts reporting that The Beatles were on course to claim their first UK Number 1 single in 54 years.Biggest one-week physical sales in almost a decade (38k) - biggest since The X Factor 2014 winner Ben Haenow’s Something I Need (47k).

The Beatles’ first Number 1 single was From Me to You in May 1963, 60 years and 6 months ago. They overtake Elvis Presley, with 47 years and 6 months between All Shook Up (1957) and a reissue of It’s Now or Never (2005). The first single released by the band following the death of their manager Brian Epstein, Hello, Goodbye featured on The Magical Mystery Tour. The song was at the centre of a scuffle for the band, Lennon was hell-bent on the more trippy I Am The Walrus being issued as a single, but relented given Hello, Goodbye's more commercial nature. I Am The Walrus served as the B-side for the single release. 14. Lady Madonna (Number 1, 1968)The whole turn of events must’ve been baffling for Ritchie Cordell. In Fred Bronson’s Billboard Book Of Number 1 Hits, Cordell says that Tiffany’s version of “I Think We’re Alone Now”“was very foreign to me. It just wasn’t the same song. All I can say is I don’t argue with #1 records.” Maybe Cordell didn’t understand what had happened with his own song, but its success makes sense. Commenting on The Beatles’ phenomenal success, Martin Talbot, Chief Executive Officer, Official Charts Company says: “Beatlemania has returned this week - and what an amazing few days it has been for The Fab Four. Here, we detail each of The Beatles's 18 Number 1 hits on the UK's Official Singles Chart - from their very first Number 1 in 1963 - From Me To You, in 1963 to their last, Now and Then, in 2023. The record-breaking 18th UK Number 1 single by The Beatles, the fact that Now And Then even exists – let alone that it topped the Official Singles Chart – is a miracle.
