A Lennon/McCartney composition featured on the US chart for the first time when Del Shannon’s version of The Beatles’ first UK number one, “From Me To You” - they had given him the song to record when he toured the UK with them a few months earlier - entered the Hot 100.

1964
Roy Orbison topped the UK chart for the second time with “It’s Over”, a song he’d co-written with Bill Dees, and which had peaked at number nine on the US chart a few weeks earlier.

With the British Beat Boom in full swing, it was the first time in 46 weeks that a non-British record had topped the chart, since Elvis Presley’s “You’re the Devil in Disguise” in August 1963.

1966
Two days after going to the top of the British chart with “Paperback Writer”, The Beatles topped the US chart for the first of two weeks with the same record.
