Way back when I was in college, I had an instructor for a public relations course that was a huge Beatles fan and used them as an example during a lesson.

One of the things he handed out was a copy of a Billboard Top Ten list of a week back in the 60’s where The Beatles had songs in the first four positions. Does anyone have any clue which chart that would have been? I think it was in the earlier 60s.

He also played a radio show or something similar about “Paul is Dead”. (This was back in 1992, but I don’t know how old the recording was) It went into all the clues that The Beatles had “hid” in their albums that proved it. It was obviously out there, but I remember it was at least well done. Does anyone have any clue how to track something like that down?

> Fifty-one years ago, the Fab Four set a record by holding Nos. 1-5 on the Hot 100. Plus, remembering chart feats by Voices That Care, Kenny Loggins and Kelly Clarkson.

It was the top 5 they had, just after they hit and it was all beatles all the time in 1964.

You should be able to google paul is dead. It’s a big topic.

Just look for “Paul is dead” + radio. You’ll find lots of stuff [like this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb1Ghis8y6A)
