The Beatles are the best-selling band in history, with estimated sales of over one billion units.[2] They have had more number-one albums on the UK charts and have held the top spot longer than any other musical act. According to the RIAA, as of 2012 they have sold 177 million units in the US, more than any other artist, and in 2008 they topped Billboard magazine's list of the all-time most successful Hot 100 artists. As of 2012, they hold the record for most number-one hits on the Hot 100 chart with 20. They have received 7 Grammy Awards from the American National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score and 15 Ivor Novello Awards from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors. They were collectively included in Time magazine's compilation of the 20th century's 100 most influential people.

The impact of the Beatles-not only on rock & roll but on all of Western culture- is
simply incalculable. ........virtually every rock experiment has some precedent on Beatles records.
thanks especially for "Yesterday", "I Will" (love the "singing" bass line, studio version) and " A Day in the Life"
