Quote:
"Meet the Beatles!" went on to spend 11 weeks at No. 1, kicking off a frenzied year for the act atop the album chart. For 20 nonconsecutive weeks in 1964, the Beatles concurrently had the Nos. 1 and 2 titles on the chart.
Then, on May 2 and May 9, the act's second set for Capitol -- "The Beatles' Second Album" -- was No. 1 while "Meet the Beatles!" slid to No. 2.
Like "Meet the Beatles!," the soundtrack blocked yet another Beatles album from hitting the top: "Something New." The latter Capitol release claimed the No. 2 slot for nine consecutive weeks between Aug. 22 and Oct. 17.
Possibly others, but I assumed Beatles had to have done it.
