McCartney Times

Paul McCartney‘s announcement on April 10, 1970 made it official: the Beatles had broken up. McCartney issued the statement in advance of the release of his solo album, McCartney. The other three ex-Beatles soon followed suit and released their own LPs: Ringo Starr‘s Sentimental Journey, George Harrison‘s All Things Must Pass and John Lennon‘s John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.The four Beatles never reunited but for two weeks in 1971, they all had singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. For the week of April 24, 1971, Harrison’s “What Is Life,” Lennon’s “Power to the People” and McCartney’s “Another Day” all made the list. Harrison dropped from the chart the following week, May 1, but Starr’s “It Don’t Come Easy” made its first appearance.
