Pop music is the aural equivalent of the fashion industry-transient. So when John Lennon provoked the Beatles split in 1970, he could never have imagined that their albums would still be bestsellers in 2009. During those 40 years other bands gave come and gone, some selling more records than the Beatles, having more consecutive number ones, or playing live to more people, and yet no other band has ever been able to equal the Beatles. So what makes them so special? Firstly, in 1963, they were in the right place at the right time. After decades marked by war, economic depression, social and political conservatism, the world waws ready for change.
