Despite disbanding in 1970, The Beatles have maintained their international popularity. However, not all their songs are exactly beloved.
In February 2026, Colliderreleased a ranking of the top worst Beatles songs. The list featured tunes like “Savoy Truffle” from 1968, 1965’s “Run for Your Life,” “Your Mother Should Know” from 1967, 1965’s “What Goes On,” and “Little Child” from 1963.
According to the publication, the top five worst Beatles songs include 1964’s “Honey Don’t,” 1970’s “Maggie Mae,” 1968’s “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road?,” and “Wild Honey Pie” from 1968. 1970’s “Dig It” from the band’s final album, Let It Be, secured the number one spot on the list. Collider reported that “Dig It” was an empty song, not worthy of Let It Be.
Paul McCartney Discussed The Band’s Break Up
In a 2018 interview on The Howard Stern Show, Paul McCartney discussed The Beatles breaking up after recording Let It Be and 1969’s Abbey Road. According to McCartney, his late bandmate, John Lennon, decided to leave the band.
“There was a meeting where John said, ‘Hey guys I’m leaving the group,'” said McCartney during the interview.
McCartney suggested that he and Lennon didn’t have the best relationship following the band’s breakup. He explained that they were both releasing songs “about each other.”
“Like weaponizing songs,” said McCartney.
He said, however, that he and Lennon mended their friendship before his 1980 death.
“We got over it, luckily. I feel very blessed that we got over it. Because if we hadn’t, and then John goes and gets killed, I don’t know how I would have dealt with that. I was very lucky because we sort of got back together. It was beautiful. I would ring him and go see him in New York,” said McCartney in the 2018 interview.
In addition, McCartney said that he and his Beatles bandmates, which also included Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison, never came together again after the band’s split.
