John Lennon Sends Multiple Singles Back To The Charts, Joining The Beatles

While The Beatles can almost always be found on at least one or two charts in the United Kingdom, the same can’t be said for the group’s individual members, though the four musicians — Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, and John Lennon — do manage to return from time to time. McCartney and Starr sometimes score new wins with brand new material, while Harrison and Lennon bounce back thanks to catalogs filled with successful albums and beloved singles.

Lennon returns this time around with a pair of tracks as he blasts back onto multiple rankings in his home nation.

“Power to the People” Returns

This week in the U.K., Lennon’s biggest hit is “Power to the People.” The track is credited to John and Yoko as a duo, with their last names left off. Also featured is the Plastic Ono Band, as “Power to the People” is a collaborative affair.

That tune reenters a pair of rosters across the Atlantic. It blasts back onto the Official Vinyl Singles chart at No. 24, while simultaneously reappearing on the Official Physical Singles list at No. 27.

“Mind Games” Becomes a Bestseller Again

At the same time, Lennon’s solo cut “Mind Games” also finds space once more on the Official Physical Singles chart. This time around, it appears at No. 78.

“Mind Games” and “Power to the People”

“Mind Games” and “Power to the People” have experienced similar trajectories on these tallies. Both tunes have not yet reached double-digit frames on either ranking, and the two have peaked inside the top 10, but never reached No. 1.

The Beatles Join John Lennon

The Beatles are also doing well on the U.K. charts at the moment, but there’s only a limited amount of crossover between the group’s success and Lennon’s, as the band and its member only share one tally this frame. The rock troupe doubles up on the Official Albums chart, as the compilation 1962–1966 joins a climbing 1967–1970. The band fills two spots on the Official Physical Singles list, as “From Us to You” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand” reenter that ranking at Nos. 53 and 74, respectively.
