Beatlemania made a big jump on this day in 1964. This is the day that the Beatles got their first number one hit.

"I Want to Hold Your Hand" hit the top of the Cash Box Magazine music chart. The Beatles would go on to 24 more number one hits before breaking up. But it all started with this little ditty.

It was the first Beatles song that was recorded with 4 tracks. They got it in 17 takes.

Is anyone else shocked that this hasn't been covered by some boy band?
