Let’s take a walk down memory lane to the 1960s to talk a little about The Beatles. They were a legendary rock group formed back in the 60s from Liverpool, England. I bet you have heard a little of their music even if you don’t know who they are. But don’t worry. I am here to teach you what you need to know.
The Beatles were composed of four members. Their names are Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and John Lennon. Paul McCartney and John Lennon met back in 1957 before the band was actually formed. Eventually they were invited to join a group and from there The Beatles were formed.
For a while The Beatles did a couple jumps back and forth between the US and the UK eventually returning home to the UK to get more serious about their music. In 1963, they released Please Please Me which reached number one in the UK. They went on tours and gained tons of fans. They called this Beatlemania. When they eventually decided to return to the US it was called the British Invasion.
The Beatles went on to have some really great years. It eventually took a toll on the band after four year of constant touring, live appearances, and constant recording. Eventually the band went their separate ways. As of 2012, The Beatles sold 585,000 albums and 2.8 million singles on iTunes. Overall, they sold 2 billion albums in 2012.
