1958: Buddy Holly (NBH)

Nothing Beatles Here (NBH), just a warning. But I love to understand (hear) influences to the Beatles. In this June 1958 we see (hear) the slapback echo of Elvis (which fortunately George Martin and the EMI recording engineers dropped for the next decade) but we get to hear the guitar crude sound and some licks that George Harrison borrowed for later recordings of The Beatles.

We also hear speedy songs with accurate drummers (that Ringo surpasses in that aspect). 

Buddy Holly was a great guitarrist, all in all.

2018-07: Drake bate recorde dos Beatles

https://www.dn.pt/cultura/interior/amp/drake-bate-recorde-dos-beatles-com-sete-musicas-no-top-10-da-tabela-da-billboard-9576748.html

Citando:
"A lista da Billboard reúne as canções mais ouvidas da semana nos Estados Unidos, por popularidade, compilando dados de vendas e transmissões. Em abril de 1964, os Beatles ocupavam os cinco primeiros lugares do top com os temas Can't Buy Me Love, Twist and Shout, She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand e Please Please Me.

Mas Drake tem agora sete temas no Top 10 o que é um recorde. O cantor conta agora com 31 êxitos no Top 10, ficando empatado com Rihanna, no terceiro lugar, sendo que à sua frente se encontram os Beatles com 34 êxitos e Madonna com 38."

Quoting:

"This week, Bieber has a record-breaking seventeen songs listed on the Hot 100, the all-encompassing register that ranks the one hundred most popular songs in the country. Before this week, The Beatles had held the record, which was fourteen tracks in one week, for decades.
