The Beatles next single came from the already released Abbey Road album. George Harrison's Something and John Lennon's Come Together would be the first and only Beatles single to have both A and B sides reach number one.

Billboard and Cashbox had designated Something as the A side with Come Together as the B side. Cashbox had Come Together reach number one, while Something followed at number two. Billboard meanwhile raised Come Together to number two and Something to number three, then combined the two sides, and thus went with the belief that a record should be charted as a single entry, regardless of whether it was a lone or double-sided hit. Therefore, Billboard and Cashbox awarded Something/Come Together the number one spot.
