Beatles Hits-Krieg, April 4, 1964-- Part 1

Continued from yesterday. //// The only artist to ever come close to the Beatles Top Five rankings was 50 Cent, who had three titles in the Top Five in March 2005 "Candy Shop" at #1, "How Do We Do (the Game) at #4 and "Disco inferno at #5. I wonder if "Disco Inferno" was a take on the old Trammps disco song? //// Is the Beatles Top Five something that could be broken in the future? In the past, Billboard's Hot 100 were based on singles sales in stores, but in this era of the internet and downloading, all those tracks show up on the Hot 100. //// In addition, the week the Beatles had the Top Five songs, they also had another seven songs spread across the Hot 100. They set the record with 12 songs, but broke that a week later when they had 14. (I'll have the other seven songs in a post tomorrow.) --RoadDog
