The Beatles Popular Song Rankings [2026]

When I’m Sixty-FourThe Beatles66rank/position

The Beatles – When I’m Sixty-Four

A song by Paul included on Sgt.

Pepper’s.

It’s a light, poppy number that’s very characteristic of him.

Around the time Paul was over 60, he reportedly grew fed up with being asked in every interview whether he would sing this song at his concerts.

The Beatles – With a Little Help from My Friends

A track from the 1967 album Sgt.

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, with vocals by Ringo Starr.

All the songs on the album are connected, and this one appears as the second track.

Ringo’s warm vocal delivery is especially appealing.

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-DaThe Beatles68rank/position

The Beatles – Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

It’s a reggae-style pop song included on the Beatles’ 1968 album The Beatles.

The phrase “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” was reportedly something a Nigerian conga player performing at a club Paul frequently visited used to say.

It’s a classic that almost everyone has heard at least once, and it seems like a song that could fit a variety of scenes.

No ReplyThe Beatles69rank/position

The Beatles – “No Reply”

A track included on the legendary band the Beatles’ 1965 album “Beatles for Sale.” He spots his lover walking arm in arm with another man.

Even when he knocks on her door, she won’t answer.

Though he still harbors feelings for her, he’s now left in a state of complete unrequited love.

The lyrics contrast sharply with the otherwise major-key feel of the song.

You’ve Got to Hide Your Love AwayThe Beatles70rank/position

You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away (Remastered 2009)

It’s well known that John was influenced by Bob Dylan for a time (especially in terms of lyric writing), and this number makes it particularly clear—it even sounds like a parody of a Dylan song.

It’s a track from the album “Beatles for Sale.”
