Doubled song - She loves you
#5 She Loves You #129 She Loves You (1983) #120 Sie Liebt Dich (She Loves You) This is the same song and all points should go to the original first one
Anyway: most complex all-time base I ever seen :) Regards from Poland
In this case there are actually different songs as well as different chart runs, that's why we keep them distinct.(have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vx8qpaKmlk its rather freaky)

Mistake
#41 I don't believe that song was a number 1, although the album titled thesame was. This list is incredible. It's helped me create a Spotify playlist of a all of their #1's. Thank you.
The listing doesn't say that "Real Love" was number 1 anywhere, we suspect that you are referring to a different number 41.
The source charts are listed on the "Song Charts" page.
We'd be happy to check the original chart data but can't do that until you tell us the name of the song and the chart you think are wrong

Sie Liebt Dich
While it's true that Sie Liebt Dich is a German version of She Loves You, it should qualify as a separate entry because The Beatles had to re-record it in its entirety--instruments and all; not just the vocals. On the other hand, Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand (I Want to Hold Your Hand) used the same instrumental track (it was recorded 4-track) as the English version; they only had to re-do the vocals.
Interesting info, thanks for the input. We would list both as seperate songs anyway (because the title changed), but clarifications like this help people to get a better picture.

Song artist 3 - The Beatles
In order for the Beatles to be called "the most successful chart act of all-time" they would've had to had more chart entries on both the singles and album charts. The last time that I checked ELVIS holds that distinction.
Elvis has more chart entries, however The Beatles have higher positions. There is no way that two songs that peaked at 95 and were in the charts for a week each is as impressive as a single number one. We've used a variety of measures for success, Elvis wins some, but The Beatles win more. On balance, we feel that The Beatles get the title.

WHO HAD THE MOST NUMBER ONES?
Dollywood isn't a private residence, it's a theme park. I guarantee Dolly Parton's private residence doesn't draw a fraction of what Graceland does.

Beatles group and solo list
Love the site! Amazing!! Any chance you could work up a composite list of songs from The Beatles together and solo...putting them all together?
I know lots of us would love to see it. (Same thing with their albums)
In fact you can generate this list easily yourself.
Start by downloading the latest CSV file (called something like "impact-chart-1-10-0038.csv" and available for download from the "CSV File" link on the "Versions" page, see the link at the bottom of this page).
You can then extract the entries that mention "The Beatles", "John Lennon", "Paul McCartney", "George Harrison", "Ringo Starr" and "Wings" (either alone or with others).
That would give you all the entries, any spreadsheet program would be able to split that into songs and albums, sorting by year, by "score" or by artist.
We'd be interested to hear if you use this to create any playlists or for anything else. That's exactly why we created the site

Sie liebt Dich
Sie liebt Dich - as EVERYONE knows is She Loves You in German.
Apart from that - great site.
Andi
Indeed it is a version of "She Loves You" which the Beatles sang in German, not just a German title for the same recording.
This caused us some discussion two years ago, but our final decision was that it should be listed separately from "She Loves You" since in some markets both the English and German versions were separate hits.
We agree that this is a borderline case, and could be argued either way, but the listing here is not a mistake but a conscious effort to reflect reality.

I don't understand what unknown year means. "Lovely Rita" (145) was a hit in 1967, for example.
Songs appear more than once, like "She Loves You" (12,115,139). The charted year is important, but for practical purpose, the release year is more. I don't think that a foreign title makes it a different song.
Is "Love Me Do (1982)" (127) not the same song as "Love Me Do" (30)? And why the year is 1964? The UK chart says 1962.
You say that "Lovely Rita" was a hit in 1967, where? It wasn't a hit in the UK chart or Billboard or Holland or ... The only place we know it was a hit was in the "Scrobulate" chart. And when was it a hit in that chart? We don't know so the year it was a hit is... unknown.
The song "Sie Liebt Dich" is a German version of "Love Me Do", The Beatles sang a distinct version in German (it's on the "Rarities" album, try looking up "Sie Liebt Dich" on YouTube), clearly not just a "foreign title" but a different single. We don't know about the re-release in 1982, it could be the same single, or it could have been a new mix, with a gap of almost 20 years we didn't want to assume its the same.
We have a page that discusses how we assign years, we can't of course use the release date, after all we do, have more than 130,000 songs listed. The year listed here is the year that the song was a hit, which we think is what most readers actually want anyway.
"Love Me Do" was a hit in 1964 in 10 charts (in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Brazil) and a hit in 1962 in 4 charts (only in the UK), so most of the world would consider the song to have been a hit in 1964.
The fact that, as we are UK based, we like you think of "Love Me Do" as being a hit of 1962 actually doesn't matter. Most of the planet would say 1964 so that's where its listed here. On this site we don't get to adjust the scores and we don't get to adjust the years.
The entry here, of course, shows all this detail, you can see that the song entered the UK chart in Oct 1962 and reached number 17, that it reached number 1 in the US Billboard chart which it entered in Apr 1964 and details of all the other charts it entered and when. If you want to get into these details we've provided them, if you don't then the short summary is that most of the world would consider "Love Me Do" a hit of 1964.

WHO HAD THE MOST NUMBER ONES?
It must be remembered that alot of Elvis' sales were lost through the years and probably lost forever. Also, Elvis' label failed to get much of Elvis' releases certified by paying the fee to do so. Also, by the time the Beatles and the British Invasion arrived many countries had more accurate sales charts. The Beatles obviously were the ones that benefitted the most from that. The facts are this, you don't see millions visiting John Lennon's or Paul McCartney's home every year.
Your main point is exactly right. The count of number 1s obviously depends on the number of charts that were active at the time (and place). When Elvis was at his peak there were fewer charts, so less chance to be number 1.
However the number of charts was increasing all the way up to the year 1970 so if that were the only factor then one would expect a group from the 1970s, 1980s or 1990s to lead the count. In addition Elvis was releasing music up to 1977, in our listing he was the second biggest act of the 1960s (after The Beatles) so he should have also benefited from the greater number of charts as well.
We have tried a number of approaches to allow acts from different decades to be compared, none of which is completely satisfactory. In terms of song success we feel that it is possible to argue for either Elvis or The Beatles to have been the most successful act of all time (or at a stretch Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby or possibly even Madonna). Whichever reasonable metric is used these acts consistently come out ahead of the rest of the pack (of course vocal fans of various other acts claim that they were "bigger than Elvis/The Beatles" but this is usually based on an astounding ignorance of history combined with a belief that making the same ridiculous claims enough times makes them true).
Finally we suspect that the number of visitors to Graceland (600k/year) as compared with say either 20 Forthlin Road or 251 Menlove Avenue (which are both run by the UK National Trust) probably has more to do with the sizes of the properties and the number of tourists in Liverpool. But even so the "number of visitors" metric doesn't seem like a good one to us, for example Dollywood gets at least four times as many visitors as Graceland, I don't think very many people would conclude that Dolly Parton was a bigger star than Elvis!
