How many Beatles songs are there?
There are about 310 Beatles songs. From all albums, Past Masters Vol 1 and 2, Let It Be…Naked, live at the BBC, and 3 from the anthology: “Free as a Bird”, “Real Love”, and “A Beginning”. Some of the songs the Beatles didn’t write, but sing. Also a couple, like “A Beginning” are composed songs by George Martin. The Beatles performed 193 songs not including bootlegs and unofficial material that would be released in future compilations. There fore the total songs including the bootlegs would be 212.
The Beatles recorded and released 214 different songs on original release albums, EP’s and singles, about 20 of which were not written by the Beatles, and about 30 they never released or gave to other artists. The Beatles also recorded many songs that were never released. Some of these turned up on post-Beatles solo albums.
Exact totals are difficult to come by since the rights to publish the songs, the Beatles ‘Book’ is owned by Michael Jackson. Speculation is high that Jackson could soon put the entire Book up for sale.
Many of these songs were recorded more than once, but a little differently and re-released. Some songs were recorded in German in the early days.
In their native United Kingdom during 1962–1970, the rock group The Beatles released 12 studio albums, 13 EPs, and 22 singles. However, the band’s international discography is complicated, due to different versions of their albums sometimes being released in other countries, particularly during their early years on Capitol Records in the United States. The Beatles’ discography was originally released on the vinyl format, with full-length long plays, shorter EPs, and singles. Over the years, the collection has also been released on cassette, 8-track, compact disc, and on a USB flash drive in MP3 and FLAC format.
