the answer to the above is George, if you check out the other 2 songs mentioned on the above link they didn't make it to number one.

e.g. give peace a chance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Give_Peace_a_Chance#Popularity

I can get 9/10 with the above but no better :-(

Thanks a lot emmasebbeth.A slight googling error for me and not reading the question properly.

Could this be the one that is wrong?

The Gramophone Company later amalgamated with Columbia Graphophone Company to form EMI, which took over the studios. The studios were then known as EMI Studios until EMI formally changed their name to Abbey Road Studios in 1970.

From Here: http://wapedia.mobi/en/Abbey_Road_Studios

That would mean the recording studio was EMI not Abbey Road when the Beatles recorded.

Abbey Road Studios is most closely associated with The Beatles, who recorded 90% of their albums and singles there between 1962 and 1970. The Beatles named their 1969 album, Abbey Road, after the street where the studio is located (the recording studio would only be named Abbey Road after The Beatles record in 1970).
