The Beatles<\/b> have earned their first No. 1 on a Billboard<\/i> airplay chart in over half a century thanks to “Now and Then.”<\/p>\n
“Now and Then” rose from No. 2 to the top spot on Billboard<\/i>‘s Adult Alternative Airplay tally dated December 9.<\/p>\n
The song is The Beatles’ first No. 1 on the chart, which began in 1996. The band previously peaked at No. 11 with “Free as a Bird” that year.<\/p>\n
The last time the band scored a No. 1 on a Billboard<\/i> radio chart was 1970, when “Let It Be” ruled Adult Contemporary for four weeks in April.<\/p>\n
“Now and Then” was released on November 2, 2023. Dubbed “the last Beatles song,” it appeared on a double A-side single, paired with a new stereo remix of the band’s first single, “Love Me Do” (1962), with the two serving as “bookends” to the band’s history. <\/p>\n
