Rock 'n' roll has its first major shakeup in nearly a decade when in late January "I Want To Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles tops the US Pop charts.
In February The Beatles appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show receives record ratings as Beatlemania explodes worldwide.
Four of the six #1 records between February and June are by the Beatles, a feat surpassed only by Elvis Presley in 1956.

It has to be the Beatles. Elvis Presley was more of a rage after he died:P Well, Presley only was extremely famous in the late 1960's as he was in the army in the early 1960's and dishonoured there, while the Beatles enjoyed their peak in the mid 1960s with singles such as 'Love Me Do', 'Please Please Me', 'From Me To You', but then soon dislevelled after 1967. Anyways both were extremely successful and success cannot be measured.

i think it really depends where people were living at the time of the music. if you were living in America, then Elvis was more popular.however, in England the most popular would have to be the Beatles, although it really depended on what type of music the listener was after.â¥bâ¥

I'm sure it would be the Beatles, but I like Elvis much better.

there was a point in the 60s where the beatles sales dropped and they were boycotted because John Lennon said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus Christ.

They were equal in popularity as evidenced by their total album sales throughout the 60's//
