[/b] Yes, EMI had just re-issued all the singles (23 of them) as their contract with said band was comingto an end. (they would soon sign a new band called The Sex Pistols ..ooh the irony). Apparently this week in 1976 was when all 23 Beatles singles were in the Top 100 at the same time. "Yesterday" fared best.
