The Beatles never have a completely quiet week on the charts, as people all around the world stream and buy the band’s music constantly. The group typically performs best in the United Kingdom, where all four musicians — John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr — are originally from and where the outfit got its start.
As The Beatles score two new charting albums with both Anthology 4 and the larger, more all-encompassing The Anthology Collection, multiple tunes from the rockers find their way back to several different tallies, as there has been a lot of buying going on with all things connected to The Beatles.
The Beatles Bring “Real Love” Back to Multiple Charts
Between the two Beatles cuts that return to the charts in the U.K., “Real Love” is the bigger winner, as it finds its way to a pair of rosters at the same time. “Real Love” reenters the Official Singles Downloads ranking at No. 82 and the Official Singles Sales tally at No. 89.
“Real Love” Becomes a Bestseller for Only the Second Time
“Real Love” appears on both sales charts in the U.K. for only the second time. The track debuted on those rosters back in November 2023, decades after its original release. At the time, “Real Love” launched at No. 25 on the ranking of the most downloaded cuts throughout the nation and No. 29 on the general list of the bestselling songs, and then it quickly disappeared.
When Did The Beatles Release “Real Love”?
The Beatles released “Real Love” in 1996 as a single from Anthology 2. The track, which was originally a demo written by Lennon, was finished by McCartney, Harrison, and Starr and shared along with “Free As a Bird.” Both tracks became hits, and “Real Love” and “Free As a Bird” served as the final Beatles songs until “Now and Then” was finished with the help of artificial intelligence technology and shared with the world in 2023.
“I’ll Get You” Also Returns at the Same Time as “Real Love”
At the same time that “Real Love” finds its way to two sales rankings, “I’ll Get You” bounces back onto the Official Physical Singles chart. That cut, which was never attached to an album, appears at No. 61 on the Official Physical Singles list after not finding space on the roster last frame.
The Beatles Earned a New Top 10 Hit a Few Months Back with “I’ll Get You”
“I’ll Get You” earned The Beatles a new hit on the Official Physical Singles chart, which ranks the bestselling individual tunes throughout the U.K. on formats like CD and vinyl, when it launched only a few months ago in July. The tune opened at No. 9, becoming yet another smash for The Beatles. Since then, “I’ll Get You” has fallen off and returned to the roster multiple times and was last seen a month ago.
The Beatles Chart Four Hit Songs This Week
The Beatles claim four hit songs in the U.K. this frame, three of which land on the Official Physical Singles chart. As “I’ll Get You” returns, “All My Loving” ascends 20 spaces to No. 60, while “Now and Then,” which can almost always be found on the roster, dips from No. 57 to No. 71.
The Beatles Dropped “I’ll Get You” Half a Century Ago
“I’ll Get You” was released by The Beatles in the summer of 1963 when the band was just beginning its global takeover. The track served as the B-side to the official single “She Loves You,” one of the more famous early successes by the Fab Four.
Anthology 4 and the Anthology Collection Both Reach The Top 10

The Beatles score two new hit albums this frame, as Anthology 4 launches inside the top 10 on all five charts on which it debuts, while The Anthology Collection makes it to the highest tier on just two rankings. The Anthology Collection appears on all five rosters where Anthology 4 arrives, but it does not make it to the top 10 on each and every one of them.
Multiple Beatles Albums Chart in the U.K. This Week
While the focus this frame for The Beatles when it comes to full-lengths is certainly on Anthology 4, the fourth installment in that series, and the new box set The Anthology Collection, two other projects by the band carve out space. 1967–1970 climbs on both the Official Albums and Official Albums Streaming charts, while 1962–1966 mounts a comeback, just like “Real Love” and “I’ll Get You.” 1962–1966 reappears on the Official Albums Streaming ranking at No. 85.
