The Beatles extreme chart success would forever set a standard for artists forever to come. From there huge success in 1964 with 14 songs in the Billboard top 100 and 5 hitting top 5 it would be a record not yet surpassed.

In 1966 The Beatles contract with EMI ended and they then revised for another 7 years. A year later they created there own label named Apple Records. This was a first for any artists and while still being signed to EMI was extremely complicated and dangerous. In the end The Beatles created mayhem but set a standard for other artists.

The Song "Hey Jude" changed alot of listeners over from AM stations to FM stations during it release as a single. The reasoning behind this came when the song would only be played for 3 or less minutes on the AM stations, and then the whole song on FM stations.

10.Reinvented Guitar and Rock and Roll

During the earlier years of The Beatles the guitar and small bands were a dying trend due to pop super-stars like Elvis. But the Beatles brought the band back into the light and would forever change the face and sound of rock and roll.
