George Harrison: The Beatle Who Secured the Final No. 1 Hit

The Beatles dominated the music scene for a decade, achieving an impressive 20 No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Even after the band disbanded, the individual members continued to find success with solo No. 1 hits. George Harrison emerged as the Beatle who secured the final No. 1 hit among the group, with his song "Got My Mind Set On You" topping the charts in the late '80s. This achievement broke a tie between Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr, who each had two hit singles. Harrison's journey to this final No. 1 hit began with his solo debut album, "Wonderwall Music," released in 1968, marking a sense of freedom from the collaborative efforts of Lennon and McCartney. Despite some ambiguity surrounding the Beatles' 2023 hit, "Now and Then," "Got My Mind Set On You" remains the last chart-topping single released by a Beatle during their prime.
