In its opening weekend, Now And Then outsold the rest of the top five combined, according to the Official Chart Company.
The Beatles last song has become their 18th number one single. Now And Then was written and recorded by John Lennon in New York in the late 1970s, before being developed by the other band members, including George Harrison, in 1995. Lennon's wife Yoko Ono had given the recording to the remaining Beatles the previous year. But technology at the time was more limited and the band were unhappy with the sound quality.
In its opening weekend, the song has outsold the rest of the top five combined, according to the Official Chart Company. It is the Fab Four's first chart-topper in 54 years, the last being The Ballad Of John And Yoko in 1969. Previous number ones include All You Need Is Love, Help!, and Hey Jude. 'I like the idea of not letting go of each other,' Sir Paul told The Sunday Times. 'You know, when you have somebody you love so much.
