The Beatles is one of the most iconic bands of all time and has wowed audiences globally over the years with their evergreen hits. This has been reflected in the Billboard charts where the British band has often been at the top. However, now, Ariana Grande has become the first one to rule the Billboard chart's top three spots since The Beatles.

While Grande might be making waves, The Beatles scorched the Billboard charts in their prime. According to Billboard, in Hot 100's 60-year history, Grande is the second act to rule 3 top spots. The Beatles did it for five weeks in March and April 1964 with their songs Can't Buy Me Love, Twist and Shout and Do You Want to Know a Secret.
