There you can vote for the best number one hits in the UK of all time. The result of this poll will be much publicized in the UK next year, because 2002 marks the 50th anniversary of the British charts, and it is important that the Beatles make the #1 position.

Here are the Beatles UK #1 hits:

From Me To You
She Loves You
I Want To Hold
Can`t Buy me
AHDN
I Feel Fine
Ticket
Help
Day Tripper/ We Can Work It Out
Paperback
Eleanor Rigby/Yellow Sub
All You Need Is Love
Hello Goodbye
Lady Madonna
Hey Jude
Get Back
Ballad Of John & Yoko

Don`t forget "Imagine" (which is currently at #2 in the poll)


As you see, faves like "Strawberry Fields", "Yesterday", "Peny Lane", "Let It Be", "Please Please Me", "Love Me Do", "Something" and "Come Together" never made it to #1 in this UK chart, so don`t vote for these songs, they will be excluded from the final poll.

There are some songs that have been voted for, that have never reached #1 in the UK. These songs will not be included in the final poll. This also means that all the votes for "Pennylane/Strawberry Fields" will not be counted in the final results. as this poll is just about UK #1 hits.

Old Victorian Proverb. I'm sure there's enough about me that pisses him off, but I think we have now grown old enough to realize that we're both pretty damn cute!

"Imagine All the People, Living Life in Peace." --John Lennon--

[FPSHOT]

Easy to say ;too little Beatles songs, but other than that, a fast count comes to only about 15 songs here which I don't like.

------------------
There'll come a time when most of us return here.
Brought back by our desire to be, a perfect entity.
Living through a million years of crying
Until you've realized the Art of Dying,
George Harrison, written partly in 1966.

Got my vot in
