I believe that was in the US, and this list is for England.

Yes, "She Loves You" was the biggest selling single in England until Paul released "Mull Of Kintrye".

Funny how it was such a big hit in Canada, and not so in the US.

Vee Jay said they sold more than 3 million copies of "She Loves You" in early 1964. Thus I wouldn`t say that it was not so a big hit in the US...

Wolf, NWM was commenting on my remark about "Mull Of Kintyre". Don't know why it was not a big hit the US. Just about everywhere else in the world it was.

That's right, sorry for the confusion Wolf. It is indeed strange as to why it didn't do as well in the States.
