‘BEATLES ’65’ GOES FROM 98 TO NO. 1 ON BILLBOARD CHART . . . JANUARY 16, 1965
Beatles’ Fifth Capitol LP Certified RIAA Million-Seller
NEW YORK — The recently released “Beatles’65” on Capitol which was No.98 on Billboard’s LP chart two weeks ago, soared to top position in the album chart last week. No album in the history of Billboard’s charts has ever scored such an advance in a single week.
The LP has just been certified by RIAA as a million-dollar LP. “The Beatles Story,” on Capitol, also was certified. Their cur- rent single is a winner, too.
To solidify their position in the pop record field, the Beatles also are holding down the top spot in the singles chart for the second consecutive week with “I Feel Fine.”
This isn’t the first time an album hit the top spot within a week after getting on the chart.“The Beatles Second Album” hit at 16 and jumped to the top the following week. Another Beatles’ album, the United Artists “Hard Day’s Night” soundtrack, hit at No. 12 and topped the list a week later.
And in 1962, “The First Family” made its debut at No. 11 and was No. 1, seven days later.
The Beatles now have six albums on the chart, three in the top 10. Five of the six disks are on Capitol; one is on United Artists.
During 1964, the Beatles held the top album position for 30 of 52 weeks. “A Hard Day’s Night” held the top position for 14 of these weeks, and “Meet The Beatles” led for 11 weeks. “The Beatles Second Album” was No.1 for five weeks.
The album charts during 1964 showed relatively few changes in the top position. Only eight LP’s during the course of the year held the No.1 position.
In addition to the Beatles’ album, other top LP’s were the “Hello Dolly” original cast version on RCA Victor, Louis Armstrong’s “Hello Dolly” on Kapp, Barbra Streisand’s “People” on Columbia, “The Beach Boys Concert” on Capitol, and “The Singing Nun” on Philips. END
