"We wrote a lot of stuff together, one on one, eyeball to eyeball. Like in 'I Want to Hold Your Hand,' I remember when we got the chord that made the song. We were in Jane Asher's house, downstairs in the cellar playing on the piano at the same time. And we had, 'Oh you-u-u/ got that something ...' And Paul hits this chord and I turn to him and say, 'That's it!' I said, 'Do that again!' In those days, we really used to absolutely write like that—both playing into each other's noses."
In the United States, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was released in early December of 1963. Originally, it had been planned to release the song in the US in January of 1964 to coincide with an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, however a 14-year-old fan of The Beatles named Marsha Albert requested it on the radio a month earlier, triggering the United States phenomenon of Beatlemania, forcing the record label's hand.
According to Billboard, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" is the 48th biggest hit of all time in music history. For The Beatles, the single became their best-selling song in their entire catalog, selling more than 12 million copies worldwide.
