The Beatles released the Lennon/McCartney song, "Hey Jude," on Apple Records in 1968. It was the first single released on their new label, and evolved from a song McCartney wrote to comfort John Lennon's son, Julian, during his parents' divorce. At more than 7 minutes long, it was the longest single at the time to ever top the British pop charts. Sitting at #1 on the US charts for 9 weeks, it set the record for the longest run at the top of the charts of any Beatles single. In 2013, Billboard Magazine named it the 10th biggest song of all time.
