The first Beatles album issued by Capitol, "Meet the Beatles", hit number one on the "Billboard" Top LPs chart (later the "Billboard" 200) on 15 February, and it maintained that position for 11 weeks of its 74-week chart stay. On 4 April, the group occupied the top five US single chart positions, as well as 11 other positions in the "Billboard" Hot 100. As of 2013, they remained the only act to have done so, having also broken 11 other chart records on the Hot 100 and the "Billboard" 200. Author David Szatmary states, "In the nine days, during the Beatles' brief visit, Americans had bought more than two million Beatles records and more than 2.5 million US dollars worth of Beatles-related goods." "The Beatles' Second Album" on Capitol topped the charts on 2 May and kept its peak for five weeks of its 55-week chart stay.
