List of The Beatles songs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a sortable table of all songs by The Beatles:
- The column Title list the song title.
- The column Year lists the year in which the song was recorded.
- The column Album lists the official UK and US studio albums, as well as official post break-up albums.
- The column Author(s) lists which Beatle(s) have written the song. Regarding those credited to "Lennon/McCartney", however, Lennon and McCartney wrote a great deal of these songs alone, or with only a minor input from the other. Those credits are here listed as follows:
-
- Lennon and McCartney: Songs written eyeball to eyeball (as Lennon once put it) e.g. "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
- Lennon, with McCartney or McCartney, with Lennon: Songs with one main composer (the first name listed), but where the other made some noteworthy contribution (for example, cases where one wrote or rewrote some of the lyric or melody or where one wrote the verse and the other wrote the "middle eight" or bridge section or gives the other an unfinished song to merge with an almost complete song.) E. g. "I've Got a Feeling," "Baby, You're a Rich Man," and "A Day in the Life."
- Lennon OR McCartney: Songs that one of them wrote completely his own e.g. "Nowhere Man" or "All My Loving."
- The column Lead vocal(s) lists which Beatle(s) sang lead vocals or 'N/A' in case of instrumentals.
- The columns Chart position list the respective US and UK single chart positions where applicable.
- The column Notes lists other useful information such as the song being a cover, a B-side etc.
- Ringo Starr is credited as a writer by his legal name, Richard Starkey.
There are currently 282 songs on this list.
