| In the US, they had 20 #1 hits, 43 top-20 and 53 top-40 hits. Their first was in 1964 and the last was in 1996. (thanks, travis - baltimore, MD) |
| The night of their first Ed Sullivan Show appearance, crime dropped noticeably, especially juvenile offenses. |
| At an Indianapolis concert, Starr mysteriously disappeared until minutes before the show. It was later discovered that he had met two policemen who let him drive their squad car around the Indianapolis 500 track. |
| They were called The Quarrymen, then Johnny and the Moondogs, then The Silver Beetles before settling on The Beatles. None of The Beatles could read music, but they could apparently write it - all of them learned to play by ear. John learned how to play guitar from Paul. When they met, John was playing "banjo chords" on his guitar. (thanks, Jonathon - Clermont, FL) |
| Apple Records was around before Apple Computer. The computer company had to agree not to enter the music business when they took their name. This became an issue after computers could play back songs. At the time computers just went "beep," Apple Records was happy, but as soon as you could record and play back a song - that was an infringement. The legal issues were finally resolved in 2007, with Apple Computer owning the Apple name but licensing it back to Apple Records. This paved the way for The Beatles music appearing on iTunes and other digital services. In a statement, Apple Computer boss Steve Jobs said, "We love The Beatles, and it has been painful being at odds with them over these trademarks... we wish Apple Inc. every success and look forward to many years of peaceful cooperation with them."
