“I don’t believe in Beatles, I just believe in me” -John Lennon
The legendary English rock band The Beatles was formed in Liverpool in 1960. The lineup of one of the most influential bands of all time included John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. The band gained worldwide fame with the release of their debut album “Please Please Me” in 1963. After releasing their final studio masterpiece “Abbey Road,” The Beatles disbanded in 1970, and the members pursued solo careers. Their music has had a lasting impact on the music industry, and to this day, we enjoy the masterpieces of these legends at parties around the world.
On June 25th, we celebrate the global Beatles Day. The date was chosen deliberately: on June 25, 1967, The Beatles participated in the BBC’s Our World show, performing the first live satellite broadcast of their song “All You Need Is Love,” which was watched by 400 million people worldwide. Since then, fans have observed this day annually, enjoying the music of their idols, watching documentaries, and attending costume parties.
We’ve gathered a few interesting facts about the band members for you:
The Mysterious Paul McCartney: There is a conspiracy theory that Paul McCartney supposedly died in a car accident in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike. Whether to believe it or not is up to you.
Billboard Hot 100 Record Holders: Starting April 4, 1964, a total of twelve Beatles songs were in the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, with five of them occupying the top five spots. This record has remained unbeaten for fifty-two years.
Different Names:
Initially, John Lennon named the band Quarry Men. The group went through several names, such as Johnny and the Moondogs, Rainbows, and British Everly Brothers, before settling on the globally known name The Beatles.
