Released on January 20, 1964, ‘Meet The Beatles‘ was at the top of the Billboard albums chart in less than a month and remained at number one for eleven weeks, when it was replaced by ‘The Beatles’ Second Album‘ on May 2.
‘Meet The Beatles‘ sold over 4 million copies in 1964, a figure that was, at that time, simply phenomenal. Before this album was released, the teenage market had been predominantly singles.
But with the arrival of the Beatles, hearing a song or two on a 45 was no longer enough to satisfy teenage ears. The record album industry as a whole was transformed with the release of this record … played here in its entirety.
