The Beatles’ Covers Chart Top 100 (1963 -2023)

As impressive as the Beatles run on the charts over the past 60 years is, it’s doubly so when you consider their side career as songwriters and the number of hits they’ve provided for other performers within the same time frame. Thousands of artists have covered songs written by the Beatles. Here’s who hit the U.S. singles charts with songs written by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, or George Harrison.

Note: These are A-Sides only. I included both “group” and “solo years” compositions. There were numerous singles that charted lower than 100, however the official Billboard Chart is a Top 100, so I went with that. I only included the main additional charts here. This excludes duets / side groups. The Beatles were popular the world over, which means a chart like this could be made for many countries around the world, often with songs / singles exclusive to that chart / country.
