Long & winding road to 18th No1

Macca joy as Beatles hit top 60 yrs after the first

-  RICK FULTON

SIR Paul McCartney called The Beatles scoring a record-breaking No1 60 years after their first chart "mind-topper boggling".

Beatlemania returned this week as the Liverpool legends made UK chart history yesterday when Now and Then stormed to the top with some incredible stats.

Sir Paul said: "It's mind boggling. It's blown my socks off. It's also a very emotional moment for me.

I love it." The Fab Four - Sir Paul, Sir Ringo Starr, John Lennon and George Harrison vaulted 41 places to the summit, having debuted at No42 last week based on just 10 hours' worth of sales following the track's Thursday release.
