I remember seeing that commercial and I asked that CD for Christmas. I was so excited when I got I went and listened to the CD at least twice that day. I know for Millennials it got them the first real exposure to The Beatles. I know for Gen Xers it was the Beatles Anthology TV special that got a bunch of people excited but it really was 1 that got people like me hooked.

[@patricklee4316]

You are right, outside of our parents (if your parents are boomers like mine), this was our formal introduction to the Beatles. I remember anthology a little bit when it came out, but I was only 7. I was 12 when this came out and it changed my life forever.

[@Jokelben493]

I was born in 1996, my first exposure was actually my dads 1993 cds of 1962-66 (red) and 1967-70 (blue). When I was four years old in 2000, 1 came out, but all the songs on 1 are actually also on either of the red or blue albums. I actually wondered why there were only a smaller amount compared to the red and blue albums

[@kiddgoldson]

You’re absolutely right. I was 8 years old when this commercial first came out. That was my first exposure to The Beatles. Btw this commercial used to come on late at night

[@richardterroni9433]

For older Millennials like myself it was probably "The Beatles Anthology" as well. I do remember also getting the 1 CD for Christmas as well.

[@profile2047]

Same. I heard them on the radio all the time, but hearing all these songs in my own private space is what did it for me.

[@Dara604]

The commercial that opened the door to The Beatles' world for me, and this was the first album I got as a little girl at nine years old. I came home from one of my surgeries in New York, back to my home in Pennsylvania, and The Beatles were waiting for me. After I got the 1 album, we would go to the Border's bookstore back in the day, and I would drive my power wheelchair straight to the music section, and look for The Beatles! I used to be a Paul girl, and I hugged Paul on stage in Philadelphia in 2010, ( a dream come true for this girl), five years later, in 2015 Paul's youthful voice began to fade, and it was the last time I was a Paul girl. As soon as the concert was over, I realized that the favorite Beatle who I should have picked all those years ago was the one who I could relate to the most, the one who wrote songs like "Strawberry Felds Forever," and "If I Fell," and so, when I came home, I ran straight to John Lennon. He had some rough times in his life, like me, and we have many good things in common, like reading, writing, and advocating for peace and love. In terms of songwriting, I like John' and Paul's lyrics, because they are autobiographical, and they tell a story. The Beatles will live on forever, and I will never stop listening to them! They are THE BEST!

This was how I was introduced to the Beatles 😅

[@theyakkomanguy7522]

Just a little side note: Paul McCartney hated the idea of Beatles songs being used for advertisements. According to him, they believed they owed some integrity to fans of The Beatles and they knew what fans wanted.

[@KitsuBeatles]

How are you going to advertise a Beatles album without Beatles songs though lol

[@theyakkomanguy7522]

@@KitsuBeatles Paul McCartney was probably okay with that because it's advertising The Beatles.

[@WoodChuckChuck122]

He wasn’t okay with Beatles music being in ads for other companies like Coca Cola. If it’s promoting a beatles album I don’t think he would care

[@theyakkomanguy7522]

@@WoodChuckChuck122 I agree that he wouldn't care if it's promoting a Beatles album because it's promoting what he and his band did in the 1960s.

[@nymetsfan9121]

One of the reasons he had a falling out with Michael Jackson was cause Michael bought the rights to Beatles music and sold the rights to revolution to nike for a commercial

[@TheTjoconnor]

The CD that got me into the Beatles. Got it for Christmas at 11 and played it over and over. Good memories.

[@quarantinebored1427]

I remember buying this for my dad for Christmas. This was the first time that I was officially introduced to the Beatles

[@jiminycricket42]

This commercial started it all for me. 10 years old when this CD was released. I must have listened to it hundreds of times. When my sony walkman CD player ran out of battery, I would sing the songs from memory in track order just to pass the time.

[@whyyoulittle4537]

This is the year I fell in love with the Beatles! I was 15 years old. My sister got this for me on CD for Christmas.

great comment

[@hughjanus5093]

They played this ad so much on Nick at nite when I was a kid that it just annoyed the shit out of me, and it took another decade for me to give them a chance, (after I was already a dedicated musician for 2 years). When I was 16 and decided to listen to Sgt. Peppers on a long flight since it was included in the in flight entertainment and my friend had been pestering me to give them a chance. It blew my world apart. The second half of their discography is something that I treasure so much and return every year since then to discover something new. I am now a total Beatles fan that will wax poetically about them to any naysayers. Lately I’ve been even getting into the earlier songs that I hated from this commercial and realizing how genius they were. In conclusion, this ad was a seriously poor introduction to their music as a young boy, and as a result I missed many prime Beatles listening years. Fuck you marketing company and Nick at nite!

[@bradtymetzler7453]

[@C0H87]

Such a monumental compilaiton album when you think of what it did to expand the Beatles fan base. For anyone in between the ages of 30-40, this would have probably been the first exposure to the band in 2001.

It was only 30 years since their breakup here. That 30 years between 1970 and 2000 seems longer than the 30 years from 1990 to 2020. Maybe because I was a kid in 2000. When 30 years seems a lot longer than compared to being adult in early 30s

Anyone else find it odd how 1 skips right over Sgt. Pepper?

[@KitsuBeatles]

It’s a compilation of number one singles, not songs from any album

[@MetallicaLive]

@@KitsuBeatles I know that I just find it odd since Sgt. Pepper is such a timeless classic album

[@richardbruton1224]

@@MetallicaLive Didn't have any number 1s, my guess is that because of how experimental it was and conceptual as an album piece, the individual songs didn't really catch the zeitgiest like usual. Also its worth mention that the monkees were killing it in 66 67 selling more records then the Beatles and Stones COMBINED.

Maybe he loved her and valued her for more than her looks, like intellect, personality, chemistry. Idk why yall people always pull that crap "oh he deserved better" "why her" "should of gone with may pang". You're not John Lennon, Yoko didn't break up the beatles, sorry she wasn't a quiet blonde bombshell

[@DanielCh9393]

Well, he wanted that one. Yoko understood John and all his trauma. Despite what everyone thinks, she was actually a very positive influence on Lennon. Why would you want to have a more atractive girl that just doesn't care about you on an emotional level?
