It's numbers more than better or worse John. Edited by: rustyruth at:13th October 2014 20:56 My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I'ts not a top selling song, it is famous for the same reason Yesterday is famous. The song I'm looking for officially beat yesterday into second place in a particular category.

rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England	Posted at 15:44 on 15th October 2014 Mud isn't a clue John. The schedules don't help either I alreay looked. I just happened to be listening to the chap who was sitting in for Steve Wright in the afternoon. I'll see if I can come up with another clue - maybe another quizzy would have been better My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

The other part of the answer which I was looking for was that it is the most recorded song ever. There have been over 3000 versions of it made. Yesterday by Lennon & MaCartney is the second most recorded or covered song with over 2000 recorded versions in history. I can't remember the exact numbers I was driving an it wasn't the time or place to start taking notes Over to you, you're not retiring so quickly My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
