The Beatles

Starting in 1957, John Lennon and several of his friends played in a British band called the Quarrymen. Over the next few years, the members of the band changed, and by 1960, the band was called The Beatles. They did not have their first hit until 1962. In February 1963 their song, "Please Please Me", reached the number 1 position on the British (1).

They first came to the United States in 1964. They were met at the airport by thousands of screaming American (2). The Beatles were so popular that they were attacked by screaming fans everywhere they went around the world. The effect they had on their fans was known as 'Beatlemania'. The Beatles made their first live American television appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show on 9 February 1964. About 74 million viewers — about half of the American population — watched the group (3) on the show. Beatles songs soon filled the top 5 places on the American top 40 chart - a record that has never been matched.

The Beatles played the first ever stadium rock (4) at Shea Stadium in America, to around 50,000 people.

The Beatles stopped touring and playing (5) music in 1966 because they were sick of audiences screaming so (6) that their music could not be heard. Among other things, they were so popular that thousands of people would gather outside the hotels they stayed in day and night meaning that they could never leave their rooms unless they were playing a concert.
