Books have been written about the beatles and you want us to tell you eveything we know about them. Hundreds of pages condensed into a Y!A answer? Nope, you're going to have to read for yourself.

The Beatles were an English musical group from Liverpool whose members were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. They are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music.
The Beatles are the best-selling musical act of all time in the United States of America, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. In the United Kingdom, The Beatles released more than 40 different singles, albums, and EPs that reached number one. This commercial success was repeated in many other countries: their record company, EMI, estimated that by 1985 they had sold over one billion discs and tapes worldwide. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked The Beatles #1 on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Their innovative music and cultural impact helped define the 1960s, and their influence on pop culture is still evident today.
The Beatles led the mid-1960s musical "British Invasion" into the United States. Although their initial musical style was rooted in 1950s rock and roll and homegrown skiffle, the group explored genres ranging from Tin Pan Alley to psychedelic rock. Their clothes, styles, and statements made them trend-setters, while their growing social awareness saw their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s.

Pretty much everything on this list is a "popular song."

I was a Beatle fan at age 6. Some of their popular songs of the 60's were HELP, I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND....Towards the end of their careers as the Beatles some of their popular tunes were SOMETHING, HEY JUDE, LET IT BE, REVOLUTION. I know more about the Beatles. RIngo Starr (Drums) George Harrison (Guitar) John Lennon (Guitar) Paul McCartney (Bass/Piano/Guitar). All sang but most of the music was written and performed by Lennnon/McCartney. Only Ringo and Paul are still alive. George died from cancer, John was murdered at his home in NYC. There has never been a better band since.

What I know about the Beatles would fill 14 pages back and front.... just listing all their song titles would take forever.... if I were you I would google THE BEATLES and see all the information about them yourself....there is a TON of information on the internet ---and then, google each member separately to get their own "stories" on each Beatle... I will say my favorite has ALWAYS been PAUL... ever since that wonderful day in 1964 when I sat in SHEA STADIUM screaming my head off with THOUSANDS of other girls as John, George, Paul and Ringo walked onto the field...

No I cannot. The Beatles have been so widely discussed, analyzed, and written about, that to convey everything known about them would take far more time and space than this forum provides. I took a whole college class on the music of The Beatles. Even listing their popular songs would take pages--they released12 U.K. stuido albums together, and a very large percentage of their songs were ranked very highly on the charts--all but one of the albums was number one for multiple weeks.
You've got a lot of research ahead of you, but, luckily, they're one of the greatest bands ever, and the research shouldbe quite enjoyable.
