"Now and Then," purportedly the final single release ever for the Beatles, was at 42 on last week's Official UK Chart--this week it's at number 1, 54 years after their last number 1 (1969s "The Ballad of John and Yoko," despite the BBC not playing it because of the lyric "Christ you know it ain't easy/You know how hard it can be/The way things are going/They're gonna crucify me") and their 18th trip to the top, the British act with the most number 1s (Elvis is at the top with 21, third is a three-way tie between veteran Cliff Richard, current hitmaker Ed Sheeran and oughts boy band Westlife)--we won't know how they did on the Billboard Hot 100 until early next week, 4 out of this week's top 5 are cuts from the album "1989 (Taylor's Version)" and do I have to say who Taylor is?:
