April 11, 1964: Beatles Have the Top 5 Songs in U.S. and 14 in the Hot 100

Five of the Beatle songs were in the Top Five.

And Bob Stroud is going to play all 14 of those songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for you in just a few minutes (and again at 9 PM CDST) on his Rock and Roll Roots Show on Chicago's WDRV, 97.1 FM.  It streams, so tune in.  (www.wdrv.com)
