"I Want To Hold Your Hand" sold nearly 5 million records in the US by 1968, making it the best selling single of the 1960s (from a Capitol Records Press release, September 9, 1968).

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, released in 1967, was not only critically acclaimed but also very commercially successful. Many music historians credit the album with forever changing the face of pop music, and also introducing the psychedelic "hippie" culture to mainstream America.

Yes, unfortunately, though it is FAR from their best song, the Beatles best selling record of all time was the Hey Jude single.

Hey, Jude, I believe...I guess it depends on your definition of biggest hit...I Want To Hold Your Hand sold the most copies (Hey, Jude was 2nd) but Hey Jude spent the most time at No.1.

Album Sales, should be "Sgt. Peppers". Song? Was probably "Yesterday". But I'm not sure on either of those. I just wanted to thank you for talking Beatles. And not all of the hateful crap I've been seeing. Thanks alot!
