Article Grading:
The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit ยท refresh)

  • I rated this article Good because it definitely wasn't a stub, but was very short. I rated it's importance low because it is merely a greatest hits album. Vint 03:53, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I upped the importance. Low is meant for truly peripheral stuff (see Category:Low-importance Beatles articles, it contains such delights as George Martin Instrumentally Salutes The Beatle Girls). A very high profile, high sales release like this is at least Mid. I've opted for High. --kingboyk 09:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Fine points all, I agree with your updated rating. Vint 03:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
The Beatles To-do: You can HELP!:


Are the sales figues US or worldwide?

[edit] "Strawberry Fields Forever"

I heard somewhere that 'Strawberry Fields Forever' was a number one song, but was left off the album for lack of space. Can anyone confirm this? --Gabriel Beecham/Kwekubo 23:32, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

'Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever' was prevented from getting to number one in the UK by Engelbert Humperdinck's 'Please Release Me'.

That's correct. And on the Billboard chart in the United States, the songs on double-A side singles were counted separately until 1969 (the change bumped "Something"/"Come Together" to the top). "Penny Lane" reached #1, while "Strawberry Fields Forever" did not. --Jordon Kalilich 16:04, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not all the no. 1 hits

the information in this article is incorrect. THere are a few songs that went to no.1 in UK or US that areen't on this album such as "Please Please me" and 'for you blue'

The universally considered "official" charts from Billboard magazine in the US and Record Retailer magazine in the UK were used to compile this CD. EVERY track on this CD is every #1 Beatle song on the Billboard and/or Record Retailer charts. So there. Steelbeard1 12:11, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
