RIP LEGEND: So Sad Another Remarkable Tragedy Strikes The Music World
Top of the charts! The Beatles are the favourite British band among BBC Radio 2 listeners beating The Rolling Stones – but who do YOU like?
The Beatles have been named as the ultimate British group by BBC Radio 2 listeners, beating the likes of Queen, The Rolling Stones and Girls Aloud.
The Liverpool-formed group finished ahead of Queen in second, The Rolling Stones in third, fourth-placed Pink Floyd and fifth-placed Fleetwood Mac, who qualified for the voting despite their American members, as the majority of the group were born, lived in or held British citizenship.
Formed in 1960 and made up of Sir Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Sir Ringo Starr, The Beatles are the best-selling musical act of all time, and one of music’s most successful and influential groups, having achieved 18 UK number one singles and 16 UK number one albums.
Other acts to be included in the top 30 include The Who, Spice Girls, Blur, Led Zeppelin and The Kinks.
The poll was organised in celebration of National Album Day, which has the theme of Great British Groups for 2024, and will take place on October 19.
