The Beatles have topped the UK singles chart 54 years after their last Nº1.
The Beatles make UK Official Chart history today with Now And Then!
Now And Then - a song based on a John Lennon demo from the late 1970s - was completed earlier this year by Paul and Ringo with the help of AI technology to restore John's vocals.
It has reached the summit after being released just eight days ago.
The Beatles last reached Nº1 with The Ballad of John and Yoko in 1969.
No other act in UK music history has had such a long gap between two chart-toppers.
The previous record was set by Kate Bush, who waited 44 years between her first Number One in 1978, Wuthering Heights, and her second in 2022, Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God).
Paul McCartney described the news as “mind-boggling”, telling the Official Charts Company: “It’s blown my socks off. It’s also a very emotional moment for me. I love it!”
Now And Then is The Beatles’ 18th number one hit, extending their lead as the group with the most chart-toppers in the UK, ahead of Westlife (14) and Take That (12).
They have also drawn level with Elvis Presley to share the record for the act with the greatest number of different songs to reach Number One in the UK.
The UK singles and album charts are compiled by the Official Charts Company (OCC).
