1963: Rock and roll band “The Beatles” pose for a portrait in 1963. The Beatles score a new top 10 … [+]
The Beatles charted dozens of top 10 hits during their years together. The band’s discography is packed with memorable tunes, the kind that millions of people can sing by heart, even decades after they were released. Even though they’re no longer together, and half of the musicians who made up the world-famous quartet are no longer with us, the act is still scoring new smashes to this day.
This week, The Beatles collect a new top 10 win on one chart. In the U.K., the band’s “From Us To You” climbs into the highest tier on one specific tally, reaching the loftiest space just one frame after arriving.
“From Us To You” debuted on the Official Physical Singles chart last week, and it missed out on becoming a top 10 win by one space. After opening at No. 11, the short project climbs to No. 10, becoming yet another smash for the now-defunct group.
The Beatles have now accrued 11 top 10 hits on the Official Physical Singles ranking throughout the past nearly 30 years. The tally didn’t exist during their initial period of success, otherwise, their count would likely be much higher. The group only reached the list for the first time in 1995, more than three decades after they started releasing music.
“From Us To You” marks the first new top 10 smash from The Beatles on the Official Physical Singles chart in only about a year. Last November, the rockers returned with what they said at the time was their “final” new song. “Now and Then” easily reached No. 1, as was the case on most rankings in the U.K.
As it lifts into the loftiest space on the Official Physical Singles ranking, “From Us To You” also spends another week inside the top 10 on a second tally in the United Kingdom. It’s steady at No. 9 on the similar Official Vinyl Singles chart, where it’s comfortable at No. 9 again—exactly where it started a few days ago.
“From Us To You” is a slightly altered version of the group’s single “From Me To You,” which was a breakout smash for the band. The tune was recorded at the BBC when The Beatles were still making a name for themselves, and the early take is now cherished by fans of the rock musicians, even so many decades later.
