All four members sang on iconic Beatles tracks, and fans for decades have taken their solo hits as songs that could&#8217;ve been Beatles songs. That&#8217;s if the band had continued. Following the Beatles&#8217; breakup, here are the 4 biggest hits from each of The Beatles&#8217; solo careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;(Just Like) Starting Over&#8221; by John Lennon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"(Just Like) Starting Over (Ultimate Mix)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dfbAAiL5ec8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Though many would assume the iconic anthem for peace, &#8220;Imagine,&#8221; would be John Lennon&#8217;s biggest hit, the track peaked at No. 3 on the <em>Billboard<\/em> Hot 100. Still, &#8220;Imagine&#8221; is easily Lennon&#8217;s most identifiable song. But it was &#8220;Whatever Gets You Through The Night&#8221; that became Lennon&#8217;s biggest solo hit in the 1970s. On November 16, 1974, &#8220;Whatever Gets You Through The Night&#8221; hit No. 1 on the <em>Billboard<\/em> Hot 100 and sat there for one week. Unfortunately, it was Lennon&#8217;s only No. 1 single for his solo career in his lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/john-lennon\/just-like-starting-over\">&#8220;(Just Like) Starting Over&#8221;<\/a> was the last single released in Lennon&#8217;s lifetime. The single was released on October 23, 1980. It hit No. 1 on December 27, 1980, just weeks after Lennon&#8217;s murder. Posthumously, the single sat in the top position for five weeks and became John Lennon&#8217;s biggest solo hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Silly Love Songs&#8221; by Paul McCartney &amp; Wings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wings - Silly Love Songs (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ap87QgZKTNw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1970s, Paul McCartney achieved six No. 1 hits with the group Wings. &#8220;Uncle Albert\/Admiral Halsey&#8221; in 1971, &#8220;My Love&#8221; in 1973, &#8220;Band on the Run&#8221; in 1974, &#8220;Listen to What the Man Said&#8221; in 1975, &#8220;Silly Love Songs&#8221; in 1976, and &#8220;With a Little Luck&#8221; in 1978 all topped the <em>Billboard<\/em> Hot 100.

It was ranked as Song of the Year in 1976. At the time, it was McCartney&#8217;s 27th No. 1 hit as a songwriter, setting a new record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;My Sweet Lord&#8221; by George Harrison<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"My Sweet Lord (2009 Remaster)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XWTvkcHlOPQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/songs\/george-harrison\">George Harrison<\/a> made a big statement with his solo record <em>All Things Must Pass<\/em> in 1970. The album spawned multiple hits, including &#8220;My Sweet Lord.&#8221; The single became the first No. 1 hit by a former Beatles member, topping the <em>Billboard<\/em> Hot 100 chart on December 26, 1970. Additionally, Harrison penned another No. 1 hit in 1973 with &#8220;Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)&#8221; and again in 1988 with his cover of &#8220;Got My Mind Set On You.&#8221; Ultimately, &#8220;My Sweet Lord&#8221; was Harrison&#8217;s biggest hit, topping the chart for four weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-songfacts-fact\"><div class=\"songfacts-card songfacts-card-horizontal\"><div class=\"songfacts-content-container\"><div class=\"songfacts-header\"><h3 class=\"songfacts-card-title\"><span>Songfacts: <\/span><span class=\"songfacts-title-part\">My Sweet Lord<\/span><span class=\"songfacts-separator\"> | <\/span><span class=\"songfacts-artist-part\">George Harrison<\/span><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"songfacts-meta\">Album:<span class=\"songfacts-album\">All Things Must Pass <\/span><span class=\"songfacts-releasedate\"> [1970]<\/span><\/div><div class=\"songfacts-body\"><p class=\"songfacts-card-text\">Producer Phil Spector thought &#8220;My Sweet Lord&#8221; was the commercial hit of the album, and everyone else resisted him on that.

Instantly, Starr followed up this success with the album&#8217;s second single, &#8220;You&#8217;re Sixteen,&#8221; also hitting No. 1 in January 1974. Throughout the 1970s, Ringo Starr had multiple Top 10 hits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the Beatles&#8217; breakup in 1970, each member embarked on a solo career.
