In 1957, a sixteen-year old boy named John Lennon created a group called the Quarrymen, and later his friend, Paul McCartney joined. Over the next five years, John and Paul's band totally transformed into a new group called The Beatles. They were joined by Paul's friend, George Harrison, on guitar and session drummer Ringo Starr. They released their first UK No. 1 single From Me To You in 1963 and went on to have 16 more UK No. 1's. In total, they spent 65 weeks at the top of the UK charts. And for one week in April 1964, the Beatles achieved something that had never been done before - they took the top five best-selling singles in the United States Billboard chart. And nearly 70 years on from their creation, they remain one of the world's most popular music groups of all time .
