================================================

The Beatles were an English rock band from Liverpool whose members were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. They are the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed band in the history of popular music.

The Beatles are the best-selling musical act of all time in the US, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which certified them as the highest selling band of all time based on American sales of singles and albums. In the UK, the Beatles released more than 40 different singles, albums, and EPs that reached #1. This commercial success was repeated in many other countries: their record company, EMI, estimated that by 1985 they had sold over one billion discs and tapes worldwide. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked The Beatles #1 on their list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. According to that same magazine, their innovative music and cultural impact helped define the 1960's and 60's music, and their influence on pop culture can still be felt today. Many up and coming music stars site the Beatles and their music as one of the many influences in their life.
