History 101:  April 4, 1968: a sad day in America - The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis.

1960: On the same day Elvis Presley recorded "Are You Lonesome Tonight," RCA became the first record company to begin releasing pop singles simultaneously in both mono and stereo. Its first such release was Elvis' "Stuck on You."

The 101 number one song of the day established five remarkable records that have never been broken and it is highly unlikely that they ever will be.  First of all – the record topped the greatest monopoly of Billboard Magazine’s top five: all five songs belonged to the same artist. Secondly, it established the greatest monopoly of the Top 100 with a total of ten singles on the charts at the same time. Third, the biggest leap to number one – from number 27. Fourth, Most consecutive number ones which at the time was three in a row. And finally, the Largest Advance Sale with orders of 2.1 million records. By this time you probably have a pretty good idea who was responsible for all this but do you know which song reached number one on April 4, 1964 to set all these records? Here are the Beatles with your 101 number one song of the day: “Can’t Buy Me Love.”
