The Beatles Double Their Wins On One Chart As A Fan Favorite Returns

The Beatles haven’t been together as a quartet for decades, but they still manage to remain among the most popular and successful musical acts in the world. The smash singles and albums they released during their years together—and even afterward—are still being consumed in huge numbers worldwide. The boundary-breaking outfit doubles up on one chart in their home country this week as a short collection makes its return.

 

On this week’s Official Physical Singles tally, the U.K.’s ranking of the bestselling songs on physical formats (usually CD or vinyl), The Beatles make a notable appearance. The band increases their total number of current hits, with one effort reappearing while another, which was already performing well, rises even higher.

“From Us to You – 2 March 1964” is back on the Official Physical Singles chart this week. The set—which is technically a short EP, but which is counted as a single—reappears at No. 58 on the list.

 

The EP has now spent two months on the physical sales tally. “From Us to You – 2 March 1964” is The Beatles’ most recent arrival on the chart, as it only debuted in August. So far, it has risen as high as No. 12, nearly becoming another top 10 smash for the group.

As that several-song “single” mounts a comeback, another recent release from the Grammy winners is soaring. “Now and Then” shoots from No. 33 to No. 21 on the Official Physical Singles chart this week.

 

That track marked the first truly new single from The Beatles in decades when it dropped in late 2023. The song, completed with the help of artificial intelligence—much to the confusion and anger of some longtime fans—easily hit No. 1 and is nearing a full year on the tally.

 

The Beatles will always rank among the top-selling musical artists of all time, but that doesn’t guarantee chart success every week. The fact that the band now has not one, but two hit singles going strong on the same list in 2024 is a testament to their enduring popularity.
