Their song "[[Hey Jude]]" was the best-performing single in 1968, spending a total of nine consecutive weeks atop the chart and tying the record at the time for the most consecutive weeks at #1 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, set by "[[Theme from A Summer Place]]" by [[Percy Faith]] in 1960.<ref name=":0" /> |
