REMEMBER WHEN
One of the most popular songs by the Beatles topped the Billboard Music Chart this week in 1964. "I Want to Hold Your Hand," was in the midst of a seven-week run atop the charts. It would be the first of three consecutive No. 1 hits for the Beatles that year. It was also the group's first American number one.
