Twist And Shout 2010 download chart run: {48}-69->2 steve201 48 ben08 47 Roba. 44 danG 42 …ready for it 38 jimwatts 33 Severin 31 WhoOdyssey 25 popchartfreak 24 gooddelta 24 Bjork 23 Notorious D.O.T. 2 Jade 0 Chez Wombat 0 King Rollo 0 dandy* 0 JulianT 0 Brer 0 Other than “Baby It’s You” this is the only cover version in the rate. It was written in 1961 and the most notable prior version is by the Isley Brothers. A later version by Brian Poole And The Tremeloes reached #4 in the UK in 1963. The Beatles version wasn’t a UK single but reached #2 in the US. The track was recorded at the end of the “Please Please Me” sessions and is notable for John’s incredibly hoarse voice. He was ashamed of the performance at the time but his version has come to be regarded as the definitive version of one of the greatest early rock ‘n’ roll songs. |

I Want To Hold Your Hand Chart run: 10-{1}-1-1-1-1-2-3-6-7-15-15-17-25-24-25-32-42-40-48-50-48R(3)->22 ben08 48 …ready for it 43 Bjork 39 Severin 37 steve201 30 Chez Wombat 29 gooddelta 29 jimwatts 26 Roba. 23 WhoOdyssey 23 dandy* 16 King Rollo 15 JulianT 14 popchartfreak 10 Jade 0 danG 0 Notorious D.O.T. 0 Brer 0 This is their 2nd biggest pure seller and one of the 20 biggest ever in the UK with more than 1.8 million sales. It was their first Billboard #1 and the first of their UK Christmas #1. The song was very much a joint writing effort by John and Paul, and their first song to use multi-track recording. Here this is the highest placed song before “A Hard Day’s Night”, meaning all the early material is now out. There are now also several other voters joining gooddelta in having voted for everything that is left. |

Twist and Shout is way too high for me. It’s really not my type of thing at all.
I Want to Hold Your Hand is definitely one of their best early singles, I felt it was quite a step up when I listened to vote. |

Their early material isn't on the same level of their experimental stuff, but I Want To Hold Your Hand is probably my favourite of them, a very timeless song. The German version bangs too x

Day Tripper is great but always preferred t'other side, while I want To Hold Your Head was one dad bought so I grew up with it - in the US this was the monster biggest-selling frenzy-causing scene-changing iconic pop culture moment of 1960's US history, so it's only right it should be the highest-charting of the early stuff.

Twist & Shout, though, was huge at the time thanks to EP's getting treated like singles and along with Let's Twist Again spearheaded that dance-obsession that gripped the UK in 1962/3. John's vocals are amazing and lift the recording up from great to classic.

Across The Universe JulianT 48 King Rollo 47 Brer 44 Jade 40 Chez Wombat 37 Notorious D.O.T. 35 popchartfreak 27 danG 27 dandy* 27 WhoOdyssey 22 Bjork 17 gooddelta 10 Roba. 9 ben08 7 …ready for it 5 jimwatts 3 Severin 0 steve201 0 This is included on “Let It Be”, though the first version of it appeared on a 1969 compilation album. It was considered by John to be one of his lyrically best and most poetic ballads. It was influenced by Transcendental Meditation, and the Sanskrit phrase “Jai guru deva om” loosely translates as “all hail the divine guru”. In 2008 NASA transmitted the song as an interstellar message in the direction of Polaris. As a heavy daydreamer this has been a big favourite for me both as a child and an adult. Chartjack2’s 48 points from the last part would have carried it into the Top 20 but alas it falls just shy. |

I Am The Walrus King Rollo 44 popchartfreak 41 Notorious D.O.T. 40 Brer 39 Jade 38 dandy* 37 JulianT 35 Chez Wombat 31 Severin 29 jimwatts 23 danG 18 Steve201 15 …ready for it 10 gooddelta 9 WhoOdyssey 6 Bjork 0 ben08 0 Roba. 0 This was written by John and included on the “Magical Mystery Tour EP” and the film of the same name. He was partly inspired by Lewis Carroll’s similarly nonsensical poem “The Walrus And The Carpenter” in writing this. Here it’s the highest placed song from the EP which peaked at #2 in the UK, and it was held off by “Hello Goodbye” which had “I Am The Walrus” as its B side, meaning that it had the unique honour of featuring in the UK #1 and #2 simultaneously. This would also have been in the Top 20 had chartjack2’s votes counted. |
