Now That's What I Call a No. 1

Product Information

With 18 UK Number 1 singles to their name, The Beatles are the British act with the most Number 1 singles in history, only Elvis Presley has more Number 1s with 21 in total). Tiffany’s take on “I Think We’re Alone Now” is nothing like the Tommy James And The Shondells version. Tommy James sings that song with a harried, almost fearful sort of desperation. He sounds like he’s taking a big risk in looking for a place to be alone with a significant other. The music reflects that horny anguish, and it drops into a hush on the chorus.

The Beatles didn't have to wait long for their second chart-topper, grabbing it just four months after From Me To You in September 1963.Having been released six days into the Official Chart week and with just ten hours of sales counting toward its weekly total, on Friday 3 November 2023 Now And Then still managed to debut at Number 42 on the UK's Official Singles Chart. 48 hours later on the Official Charts First Look bulletin for the new chart week, Now And Then had catapulted out in front in the midweeks, with Official Charts reporting that The Beatles were on course to claim their first UK Number 1 single in 54 years.

If you have NOW Fibre Broadband, distance to the exchange isn’t important. However, the distance from your home to your local street cabinet (usually green) can affect your connection speed. Marrying the group's final song with the first release, Now and Then is available as a double A-side release with the group's first-ever Official Singles Chart entry Love Me Do, which reached Number 17 in 1962. The first single released by the band following the death of their manager Brian Epstein, Hello, Goodbye featured on The Magical Mystery Tour. The song was at the centre of a scuffle for the band, Lennon was hell-bent on the more trippy I Am The Walrus being issued as a single, but relented given Hello, Goodbye's more commercial nature. I Am The Walrus served as the B-side for the single release. 14. Lady Madonna (Number 1, 1968) Christmas comes early this week, as a couple of festive favourite make their earliest-ever entries into the Official Top 40.

2. She Loves You (Number 1, September 1963)

Written by Lennon as, wouldn't you know it, a cry for help after The Beatles's sudden and life-changing spiral into world-conquering superstardom.

Bruno Mars Re-enters the chart on 3rd Jan but Does not get 1286th No1 because it's classed as a R/E 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. If there were ever any doubts that The Beatles are the greatest band of all time, they have surely consigned them to history this week.” Elsewhere on the Official Singles Chart: 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).

8. Help! (Number 1, August 1965)

On 10 November 2023, The Beatles made a record-breaking return to Number 1 on the UK's Official Singles Chart with Now And Then, setting a new record for the longest time span between an artist's first and last Number 1. Now And Then reached the top of the Official Chart 60 years and 6 months after The Beatles' First Number 1 - From Me To You in May 1963. 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. We’ll let you know if your current broadband plan is available there.

And when it comes to holding the record of having the most unique number ones in UK chart history, The Beatles have now gone joint-top with The King.
