‘A Hard Day's Night’ was released as a single in July 1964 with ‘Things We Said Today’ as its B-side. The song featured prominently on the soundtrack to the Beatles' first feature film, ‘A Hard Day's Night’, and was on their album of the same name. The song topped the charts in both the United Kingdom and United States. The American and British singles of ‘A Hard Day's Night’ as well as both the American and British albums of the same title all held the top position in their respective charts for a couple of weeks in August 1964, the first time any artist had accomplished this feat.
