Album · Compilation
1
1 is the Beatles' single-disc round-up of their chart-topping singles, released on 13 November 2000 on Apple Records. It gathers virtually every number one the band had in the UK or US between 1962 and 1970, and it arrived on the 30th anniversary of their break-up. It was the first Beatles compilation to fit onto a single CD, which made it an easy way in for anyone coming to the band fresh.
Its success was enormous. It topped charts around the world and has sold over 31 million copies, making it the best-selling album of the 2000s worldwide. It was also the last Beatles album released in George Harrison's lifetime, as he died in November 2001. A remastered version appeared in 2011, and in 2015 it was remixed and reissued in several deluxe editions, including the three-disc 1+, which adds promotional films.
