The Nation’s Favourite Beatles Number One – The countdown as it happened for ITV’s poll of Britain’s most popular Fab Four chart toppers.
Unlike previous ‘Nation’s Favourite’ lists, this show isn’t exactly a top 20 countdown of the countries most loved songs from a specific artist, band or era. The programme will instead reveal which of The Beatles 27 singles, that reached number one here in the UK and America, are our favourites today.
Here we’ll be filling out the results of the show as they’re revealed, including the big winner. So which song will be voted number 1?

So do you agree with ITV’s poll results, or did you have a different number 1 hit in mind? Perhaps your fave Beatles track never even made it to the top of the singles charts. With such a huge library of music to their name, many of you will have no doubt backed an alternative winner.
The Nation’s Favourite Beatles Number One aired for the first time from 8:00pm to 10:00pm on Wednesday the 11th of November, 2015.
In addition to revealing Britain’s preferred tunes from John, Paul, George and Ringo, the show will also bring us the stories behind the music. We’ll see interviews with Beatles’ insiders, including friends, fellow musicians, performers and some celebrity fans.
