The Beatles' top 10 songs ranked - and number one isn't 'Let It Be'

The most-streamed Beatles song has over a billion streams

The Beatles are undoubtedly one of the most influential and successful bands in music history, dominating the 1960s and shaping the future of rock and pop music.

With over 600 million albums sold worldwide, they revolutionized the industry through their innovative songwriting, studio experimentation, and unmatched cultural impact. However, much of their success was built in an era before digital streaming. The Beatles were kings of vinyl records, cassette tapes, CDs, and radio airplay, long before Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube became the dominant ways of consuming music.

Despite this, The Beatles continue to thrive in the modern streaming age, with their songs racking up hundreds of millions - and in some cases, billions - of streams. Based on official Spotify streaming figures, here are The Beatles’ top 10 most streamed songs, ranked from 10 to 1.

10. ‘Help!’

With over 300 million streams on Spotify, ‘Help!’ was released in 1965 as the title track for both the Beatles' fifth studio album and second feature film, reflecting John Lennon’s growing stress under the pressures of fame. Lennon later admitted that ‘Help!’ was a genuine cry for assistance during a turbulent time in his life. Its upbeat tempo contrasts with the vulnerability in the lyrics, marking a pivotal moment in the band’s evolution.
