A band that never became very widely known but who are worth a
look at anyway. These four lads from Liverpool shook up not only
the nation, but the world.
All of a sudden teenage girls everywhere were trying to decide
whether John, Paul, George or Ringo was their favourite whilst the
boys were getting in trouble for wearing their hair like their idols.
Known as the world's most successful group The Beatles have sold
an estimated billion albums, with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club
Band being the biggest selling album in UK history.
Although the group split in 1970 they live on in the hearts and
minds of millions. A new generation of Beatlemania was started in
the mid 90's when the 'Anthology' album sold 10 million copies in
less than a month and the follow up '1' broke the world record for
the fastest selling album in history.
