One of the most beloved songs to come from The Beach Boys' many hits, "God Only Knows" made a splash when it was released on the band's 1966 album Pet Sounds. Sometimes the most simple songs, are the best. The record company who released the song in the U.S. wanted it as a single, but later changed their minds and it was put on the record's B-side. Why? If you can believe it, many thought the song would be banned because of the mention of God (and in some places, it was!)

What is any list of top hits without The Beatles? John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote "She Loves You" on a tour bus in Yorkshire, England. The song begins with the chorus, "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah" instead of the original first verse, thanks to the quick thinking of the song's producer George Martin. This song is The Beatle's best-selling single in the United Kingdom and the top-selling single of any artist in the 1960s. This hit was recorded less than a week after Lennon and McCartney wrote it, and the rest- as they say, is history.
