The Beatles

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. Many say that we wouldn't be where we are today without The Beatles because they were seen as the most influential band in their era. The band contained 4 members: John Lennon, Paul MaCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. When the band first became popular in early 1960, it was considered "Beatlemania." According to the Recording Industry Association of America, The Beatles are the best-selling music artists in the United States, with 178 million certified units. The recipients of seven Grammy Awards and fifteen Ivor Novello Awards, the Beatles have been awarded six Diamond albums, as well as 24 Multi-Platinum albums, 39 Platinum albums and 45 Gold albums in the United States. The band split up in 1970 but they all went on to have great musical careers after The Beatles. MaCartney and Starr are still alive and continue to play music. John Lennon was shot and killed in December 1980, and Harrison died of lung cancer in November 2001.
