The Beatles Score Two Top 40 Hits On The Same Chart
The Beatles still stand as one of the most successful musical acts of all time in their home country of the U.K. Despite the fact that the band has only released a handful of tunes in the past half-century since they first split, they remain forces to be reckoned with on the weekly rankings, as fans in England continue to stream and buy everything the group released.
This week, The Beatles are present once again on a number of charts in the U.K. The Fab Four even manage to collect a pair of top 40 wins on the same ranking—at the same time.
On the Official Physical Singles chart–the U.K.’s list of the bestselling individual tunes released on a physical format–The Beatles claim a pair of spots. That’s an impressive showing for a group that many know as one from another era.
The Beatles’ highest-ranking hit on the Official Physical Singles chart this week is “From Us To You - 2 March 1964.” That project–which is actually an EP that features several songs, including the title track “From Us To You”—appears at No. 18 this frame. Last week, it was down at No. 29.
Further down on the same ranking comes another tune from the same beloved outfit. The Beatles’ “Now and Then” climbs this frame on the Official Physical Singles chart, shooting from No. 62 to No. 32.
“Now and Then” was released in late 2023, and it was heralded as a welcome return by the biggest band in the world. The single–their first in decades–reached No. 1 on this tally. “From Us To You - 2 March 1964,” meanwhile, has missed out on breaking into the top 10 by just a few spaces, as it’s climbed as high as No. 12.
Speaking of No. 12, that’s exactly where “From Us To You - 2 March 1964” lands on another chart in the U.K. The Beatles’ short studio effort rises to that position on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, lifting from No. 22.
