Friday marks the 50th anniversary of the Fab Four's remarkable Billboard coup, when their songs occupied the top five slots of the singles chart, a feat never repeated.
The Billboard Hot 100 ranking on April 4, 1964:
1. Can't Buy Me Love
2. Twist and Shout
3. She Loves You
4. I Want to Hold Your Hand
5. Please Please Me
"It was the first and only time anyone ever monopolized the entire top five," says Keith Caulfield, Billboard's associate director of charts/retail. "It was a unique moment in time, something that likely will never happen again. We were at the height of the Beatles invasion, and millions of fans were discovering them and their work."
The only artist to come close to The Beatles' slam is 50 Cent, who had three titles in the top five in March 2005: Candy Shop at No. 1, How We Do (The Game single featuring 50) at No. 4 and Disco Inferno at No. 5.
