From DJPOPPOP2. The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night (1964): The soundtrack at the absolute peak of Beatlemania, A Hard Day's Night spent 14 weeks at #1 and delivered an astonishing run of classics. "A Hard Day's Night", "Can't Buy Me Love", "If I Fell", and "And I Love Her" helped turn the album into far more than a movie soundtrack - it became one of the defining records of the decade.
