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

The Beatles are the best-selling musical act of all time in the United States of America, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, which certified them as the highest selling band of all time based on American sales of singles and albums. In the United Kingdom, The Beatles released more than 40 different singles, albums, and EPs that reached number one. 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 its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. According to that same magazine, their innovative music and cultural impact helped define the 1960s, and their influence on pop culture can still be felt today.

The Beatles led the mid-1960s musical "British Invasion" into the United States. Although their initial musical style was rooted in 1950s rock and roll and homegrown skiffle, the group explored genres ranging from Tin Pan Alley to psychedelic rock. Their clothes, styles, and statements made them trend-setters, while their growing social awareness saw their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s.

    Beatles in the news

    A few years back Apple Corps discovered that film footage of the Beatles, that was used for a promo film for 'Lady Madonna', was in fact footage of the Beatles

    I'm tired of seeing the Beatles iPod Rumor, maybe this will help me with that. On Macbreak Weekly episodes 26 and 27, Merlin Mann breaks the news of the Beatles iPod and he also names his source and I'm sure you'll be quite surprised as to who, or what, it is.

    Back in the 60s and 70s the British invasion consisted of iconic bands like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and Led Zepplin taking the US by storm, and rightly so… In the 80s there was an action movie called ‘Invasion USA’ consisting of a narco-terror group sneaking into the US and their inevitable demise at the hands of Chuck Norris.
