In Sunday's post on the Beatles having the Top Five slots on the Billboard Hot 100 on April 11, 1964, I was off by one week. The Top Five they had was the week before, April 4. I realized this when listening to Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots show yesterday and he did not have those.
It turns out that the Top Five that I listed was from April 4 and there were a total of just 12 Beatles songs in the Hot 100. Two more joined the following week which was the one that Stroud played.
You can see the Top Five songs on my Sunday, April 11, 2021, post.
The other Beatles songs in the Hot 100 on April 4, 1964
31. I SAW HER STANDING THERE (Capitol)
41. FROM ME TO YOU (Vee Jay)
46. DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET (Vee Jay)
58. ALL MY LOVING (Capitol)
65. YOU CAN'T DO THAT (Capitol)
68. ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN (Capitol)
79. THANK YOU GIRL (Vee Jay)
Of interest, the 12 Hot 100 songs were not all on the same label, but four labels which showed how the record companies were scurrying to cash in on the Beatle phenomenon. They were Capitol, Tollie, Swan and Vee Jay. I put the record companies on the Top Five on my Sunday post.
