According to Billbard only "penny lane" made it to #1. "Strawberry
Fileds..." made the top ten. Radio play most likely made the
difference, becasue even though they are the same 45, the charts in the
60's rated the sides differently. The same goes for "hey
jude/revolution".
In the fall of 69 the way the charts were tabulated changed when and a
single 45's titles were grouped together. In fact the week before "come
together/something" went #1 they had 2 different chart positions.
