1969: The Beatles release the single "Something" in the United Kingdom. "Something" was the first Beatles song written by lead guitarist George Harrison to appear as an A-side, and the only song written by him to top the U.S. charts while he was in the band. The song would top the Billboard charts in the United States and make the top five in the United Kingdom.
