Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), The Beatles (commonly known as the White Album, 1968) and Abbey Road (1969). After their break-up in 1970, they each enjoyed successful musical careers.
According to the RIAA, the Beatles are the best-selling music artists in the United States, with 178 million certified units.

In 2008, the group topped Billboard magazine’s list of the all-time most successful “Hot 100” artists; as of 2015, they hold the record for most number-one hits on the Hot 100 chart with twenty.
They have received ten Grammy Awards, an Academy Award for Best Original Score and fifteen Ivor Novello Awards.
