Yesterday" is a song originally recorded by The Beatles for their
1965 album Help!. At one time, Guinness World Records cited
"Yesterday" with the most cover versions of any song ever written.
The song remains popular today with more than 1,600 recorded cover
versions, the first hitting the United Kingdom top 10 three months
after the release of Help!. Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI)
asserts that it was performed over seven million times in the 20th
century alone. The song was not released as a single in the UK at
the time of its release in the United States, and thus never gained
number 1 single status in that country. However, "Yesterday" was
voted the best song of the 20th century in a 1999 BBC Radio 2 poll
of music experts and listeners. In 2000, "Yesterday" was voted the
#1 Pop song of all time by MTV and Rolling Stone Magazine. In 1997,
the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. "Yesterday" is
a melancholy acoustic guitar ballad about a break-up. It was the
first official recording by The Beatles that relied upon a
performance by a single member of the band, Paul McCartney. He was
accompanied by a string quartet. The final recording was so
different from other works by The Beatles that the other three band
members vetoed the release of the song as a single in the United
Kingdom. (However, it was issued as a single there in 1976.)
Although credited to "Lennon/McCartney", the song was written
solely by McCartney. In 2002 McCartney asked Yoko Ono if she would
allow reversing the credit on the song to read "McCartney/Lennon".
Ono refused
