Help! is only one of two albums that have no songs in the bottom 40.  You'll find that other one soon enough.  And to just glance at the list of songs, it's hard to believe it came in at 6th overall, just a tad behind AHDN.  Two songs in the top 10! Three in the top 15.  No other album has three in the top 15.  

And let's talk about that number 15.  I've Just Seen a Face is probably the most underrated Beatles' song there is.  I'm amazed every time I listen to it, how fast Paul sings it.  It's incredible.  He doesn't sound like he's rattling off a list either, he's clearly singing the whole time.  I'm out of breath just typing about it.

Do I really need to say anything about Yesterday?  A masterpiece.  I read somewhere that it's the most covered song of all time.  Well, what else could you say?
