Sixty years after the Beatles’s first U. S. visit, the rock band still holds Billboard’s record for most No.1 songs on the Hot 100 chart and the record for most No.1 albums (19) in the history of Billboard’s tracking.

Elton John is still standing better than ever in his engrossing new documentary, Elton John: Never Too Late, a look back at the highs and lows of the singer’s 50-year performing career.
