An upcoming documentary will reportedly explore The Beatles' impact on the American music scene, according to a report by The Sun.
The British group, consisting of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, and George Harrison, gained widespread popularity in the US following a televised performance that drew 73 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings.
The band's subsequent releases consistently topped the US charts, as reported by Billboard.
The Sun reports that an upcoming documentary, tentatively titled "1964," will examine how The Beatles influenced and inspired other British artists.
According to an unnamed source who spoke to The Sun, "Apple TV+ has a documentary that looks back at their rise — and how the band paved the way for acts like the Rolling Stones when it came to making it big in America."
"Beatlemania was crazy in the UK, but the Americans gave our fans a run for their money," the source said.
They went on, "People will remember the hysteria that took over the US when The Beatles arrived, and the incredible scenes where thousands of teenagers turned up to see them wherever they went."
