The supergroup The Beatles.

Did you know that The Beatles are the only artists in history to simultaneously hold all top 5 spots on the Billboard Hot 100?

During the week of April 4th 1964, The Beatles controlled the entire top 5 of the Hot 100. As their ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ single held the #1 spot on the lineup, ‘Twist and Shout’, ‘She Loves You’, ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’ and ‘Please Please Me’ were ranked at #2, #3, #4 and #5, respectively.

Shockingly, ‘Can’t Buy Love’ rose to the top of the Hot 100 following ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’ and ‘She Loves You’, respectively. That accomplishment earned The Beatles the honor of being the only artists to replace themselves at the chart summit with 3 consecutive #1 songs.
