The song's inclusion on a reissue of The Beatles' 1967-1970 ('The Blue Album') was also confirmed, with both that and 1962-1966 ('The Red Album') compilation records celebrating their 50th anniversaries in 2023.

The previous record holder was Kate Bush with 44 years between 1978’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ and 2022’s ‘Running Up That Hill’, which enjoyed a fresh wave popularity following its inclusion in Stranger Things. Now And Then also signified another record-breaking gap - the band's last Number 1 prior to Now And Then was a whole 54 years earlier, 1969's The Ballad Of John And Yoko. In extraordinary circumstances befitting an extraordinary band, The Beatles earned their 18th UK Number 1 single with their 'last' official release, Now And Then, a whole 54 years since their last chart topper (The Ballad of John and Yoko, 1969). As it reached Number 1, it helped The Beatles extend their lead as the British act with the most Number 1 singles in UK chart history, as well as the longest-gap between Number 1 singles (54 years) and the longest span of Number 1 singles (60 years from their first to their last).

While Elvis has 21 UK number ones in total, three of them were re-releases of previous chart-topping songs – this means he’s had 18 different UK chart toppers, the same number as The Beatles.

Commenting on The Beatles’ phenomenal success, Martin Talbot, Chief Executive Officer, Official Charts Company says: “Beatlemania has returned this week - and what an amazing few days it has been for The Fab Four.

In his memoir, Tommy James wrote that “I Think We’re Alone” came from Ritchie Cordell and his writing partner Bo Gentry, but Gentry was under contract to another label, so Levy decided that Cordell would get sole writer credit even though the two writers would split the royalties. Cordell and Gentry brought the song to Tommy James And The Shondells, the teenage garage band who’d taken “ Hanky Panky” to #1 in 1966. James recorded the song with the Shondells in 1967, when James was 19. The band sped the song up, and James sang it with a horny sort of desperation. James later wrote, “Without realizing it, we invented ‘bubblegum’ music.” The 1286th UK No1 goes to Ellie Gouldings Love me like you do on the 14th Feb 2015=1286th UK No1 thus chronologically is the First UK No1 of 2015.

Here, we detail each of The Beatles's 18 Number 1 hits on the UK's Official Singles Chart - from their very first Number 1 in 1963 - From Me To You, in 1963 to their last, Now and Then, in 2023.

[1] [4] A bittersweet coda to the most enduring partnership in all of pop. 18. Now and Then (Number 1, 2023)

Biggest one-week physical sales in almost a decade (38k) - biggest since The X Factor 2014 winner Ben Haenow’s Something I Need (47k). Olivia Rodrigo continues her 2023 chart domination with Can’t Catch Me Now, lifted from Music From & Inspired By The Hunger Games: The Ballads of Songbirds & Snakes (18). It’s Olivia’s 11th Top 40 single in the UK. Now And Then is The Beatles’ most-watched music video in one week ever –2.15m streams v Here Comes The Sun’s 171.7k in 7 days in 2019. The record-breaking 18th UK Number 1 single by The Beatles, the fact that Now And Then even exists – let alone that it topped the Official Singles Chart – is a miracle. She Loves You holds a special place in The Beatles canon, it is officially the best-selling single from the 1960s, and the best-selling single from the group in the UK too.Lady Madonna marked a return to a more conventional approach to song style and structure for The Beatles, following their most experimental period. Lady Madonna was also the last record in the UK released by The Beatles long-time label Parlophone, subsequent releases would come from their own record label, Apple, via a deal with EMI. Revisit the chart the week Lady Madonna claimed Number 1. 15. Hey Jude (Number 1, March 1968) I generally like my teen-pop to be a bit more naturalistic than Tiffany’s “I Think We’re Alone Now.” Around the same time that Tiffany was on the rise, her close contemporary Debbie Gibson was writing her own songs, and Tiffany would eventually start to do the same thing. (Debbie Gibson will eventually appear in this column.) But on “I Think We’re Alone Now,” Tiffany is singing a song that was a hit four years before she was born, and there’s a clear disconnect there. Her version of the song is a perfectly digestible pop product, but it never sounds like anyone’s world exploding. The best teen-pop songs — including some of the best Tommy James And The Shondells songs — are the ones that bring that urgency. A huge opening week of sales saw The Fab Four deliver the UK's fastest-selling vinyl single of the century too, according to Official Charts data, as well as the biggest one-week physical sales in nearly a decade, since 2014's X Factor winner's single Something I Need by Ben Haenow. Another double A-side single that went all the way to Number 1, the two songs included ( Yellow Submarine and Eleanor Rigby) couldn't be more different.
