Beatlemania

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
This article is about the fan frenzy towards The Beatles. For the musical, see Beatlemania (musical). For the element in The Beatles: Rock Band, see The Beatles: Rock Band#Gameplay.
Beatlemania is a term that originated during the 1960s to describe the intense fan frenzy directed toward British pop rock band The Beatles during the early years of their success. The word is similar to the much earlier term Lisztomania, used to describe fan reaction to the concerts of pianist Franz Liszt.
Andi Lothian, a former Scottish music promoter, claims that he coined the term while speaking to a reporter at the Caird Hall Beatles concert that took place as part of The Beatles' Mini-Tour of Scotland, on 7 October 1963,[1] and an early printed use of the word is in The Daily Mirror 15 October 1963[2] in a news story about the previous day's Beatles concert in Cheltenham.
Beatlemania was already evident when the band arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York in February 1964, but became common in the United States after The Beatles performed on several editions of The Ed Sullivan Show the same month. It was characterised by intense levels of hysteria and high-pitched screaming, demonstrated by female fans both at concerts and during the band's travels. The extent of Beatlemania in the United States is evidenced by their sales. During the 6½ years between the appearance of the "I Want to Hold Your Hand" single on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Let It Be LP, The Beatles had the Number One single in the US for a total of 59 weeks and topped the LP charts for 116 weeks. In other words they had the top-selling single one out of every six weeks, and the top-selling album one out of every three weeks."[3]
