The Beatles have some songs that never made it to No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 despite the band's unmatched popularity.
Even though the band only lasted for a decade, The Beatles still reached milestones not all bands had experienced yet. These recognitions even made them the most influential band of all time.
Throughout their active years, The Beatles released chart-topping albums, including "Rubber Soul," "Revolver," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," and "Abbey Road," among others.
Due to their popularity, they ultimately became the best-selling music act of all time, with more than 600 million unit sales worldwide.
Years after their disbandment, the band still holds several records, including the most number-one albums on the UK Albums Chart. They soon made it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Despite that, The Beatles also have non-No. 1 songs under their belt, and here are some of them.
Lady Madonna
On Feb. 3 and 6, 1968, The Beatles recorded the Paul McCartney-written song "Lady Madonna." They released the song in March of the same year on Parlophone in the UK. While it reached No. 1 on the country's chart, it only reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 (April 20 to May 4 week) after debuting at No. 23 on March 23.
Although it missed Billboard Hot 100, it ranked first on Australian Go-Set National Top 40, Austrian Singles Chart, Canadian CHUM Hit Parade, Dutch Singles Chart, New Zealand Listener Chart, Swedish Kvallstoppen Chart, Swedish Tio i Topp Chart, Swiss Hitparade, UK and Record Retailer Chart.

Strawberry Field Forever
John Lennon wrote the song "Strawberry Fields Forever," and the band released it on Feb. 13, 1967 as a double A-side single alongside their other hit song, "Penny Lane." Lennon created the song based on his experience as a child in the garden of Strawberry Field.
It served as the first track The Beatles recorded after dropping their album "Revolver," which should have piqued fans' interest.
However, the band only peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the song.
Yellow Submarine
The Beatles released "Yellow Submarine" through its 1966 album, "Revolver." The track was well-loved by the public. However, Lennon's infamous "more popular than Jesus" statement led radio stations to ban The Beatles' music - including "Yellow Submarine."
As a result, the song only peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Amid the controversy, "Yellow Submarine" continuously became a children's favorite through the years.
