Today they are number one, just as they were then: after 54 years, the Beatles have once again conquered the singles charts in Germany and Great Britain.

This is the legendary band's twelfth number one in Germany and their 18th number one in their home country.

Using artificial intelligence, the audio tracks of a John Lennon recording could be separated. The result was a new and probably last Beatles song.

Former Beatle Paul McCartney spoke of “shocking” news. The 81-year-old said:

“It's a very emotional moment for me too. I love it!”

The Beatles broke up in 1970. “Now And Then” is considered the group’s “last” song. The song was originally written and sung by John Lennon in the 1970s.

After Lennon's murder in 1980, the other three ex-Beatles McCartney, Ringo Starr (83) and George Harrison, who died in 2001, developed the work further.

The Beatles last topped the charts in 1969, in Germany with “Come Together” and in Britain with “The Ballad of John and Yoko.” “This means that Paul McCartney & Co. have the longest gap between two number one hits in history: 54 years,” GfK Entertainment said.

In Britain, the record was 44 years old: Kate Bush held the top spot both in 1978 and in 2022 with her hit “Wuthering Heights.”

Commissioner René Allonge has come across many unusual cases. But one thing in particular remains in his memory: John Lennon's diaries are said to have been before his eyes in 2017.

The Beatles' success had been expected for days. Just ten hours after its release, “Now And Then” had reached number 42 in the British charts. Now things have moved up another 41 places.
