Britain's Official Chart Company Names She Loves You As Biggest Selling Beatles Track
The U.K.'s Official Chart Company, the people responsible for the music charts each week, were asked by BBC Radio 2 to research and assemble a list of the biggest selling tracks in the U.K. by the Beatles. It took the organization a bit of time, as they had to take into account the various re-releases over the years, but the final list of 30 was revealed Monday on BBC Radio 2 by Ken Bruce.
Topping the list is She Loves You, which was the biggest selling single by any artist in Britain from 1964 until 1977 when Paul McCartney's Mull of Kintyre/Girl's School sold more copies. Second is I Want to Hold Your Hand followed by Can't Buy Me Love, I Feel Fine and the double sided Day Tripper/We Can Work it Out.
All of the top five records only charted once to reach their sales while number 6, Hey Jude, was a hit twice (1968/#1 and 1976/#12). There are a couple of surprises of note. Yesterday, the most recorded song of all-time, only comes in at number 26 as it wasn't released in the U.K. until 1976 and only managed to make it to number 8. Strawberry Fields Forever is listed twice instead of combining two separate releases as the first issue was as the B-side of Penny Lane while the 70's release was as the A-side.
The following are the top 30 with indications of year(s) and chart position(s):
1.She Loves You (1963/#1)
2.I Want to Hold Your Hand (1963/#1)
3.Can't Buy Me Love (1964/#1)
4.I Feel Fine (1964/#1)

8.Help! (1965/#1, 1976/#36)
9.Hello, Goodbye (1967/#1)
10.Get Back (1969/#1, 1976/#28)
11.Paperback Writer (1966/#1, 1976/#23)
12.All You Need is Love (1967/#1)
13.Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby (1966/#1)
14.Ticket to Ride (1965/#1)
15.Magical Mystery Tour EP (1967/#2)
16.A Hard Day's Night (1964/#1)
17.Penny Lane / Strawberry Fields Forever (1967/#2)
18.Lady Madonna (1968/#1)
19.Love Me Do (1962/#17, 1982/#4)
20.Please Please Me (1973/#2, 1983/#29)
21.The Ballad of John & Yoko (1969/#1)
22.Let it Be (1970/#2)
