English rock band <a href="/wiki/The_Beatles" title="The Beatles">the Beatles</a> from 1963 to 1966. The group's popularity grew in the United Kingdom in late 1963, propelled by the singles "<a href="/wiki/Please_Please_Me_(song)" title="Please Please Me (song)">Please Please Me</a>", "<a href="/wiki/From_Me_to_You" title="From Me to You">From Me to You</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/She_Loves_You" title="She Loves You">She Loves You</a>". By October, the British press adopted the term "Beatlemania" to describe the scenes of adulation that attended the band's concert performances. By 22 February 1964, the Beatles held both the number one and number two spots on the <a href="/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100" title="Billboard Hot 100">Billboard Hot 100</a>, with "<a href="/wiki/I_Want_to_Hold_Your_Hand" title="I Want to Hold Your Hand">I Want to Hold Your Hand</a>" and "She Loves You", respectively. Their world tours were characterised by the same levels of hysteria and high-pitched screaming by female fans, both at concerts and during the group's travels between venues. Commentators likened the intensity of this adulation to a religious fervour and to a female masturbation fantasy. Among the displays of <a href="/wiki/Deity" title="Deity">deity</a>-like worship, fans would approach the band in the belief that they possessed supernatural healing powers. In February 1964, the Beatles arrived in the United States and <a href="/wiki/The_Beatles_on_The_Ed_Sullivan_Show" title="The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show">their televised performances</a> on <a href="/wiki/The_Ed_Sullivan_Show" title="The Ed Sullivan Show">The Ed Sullivan Show</a> were viewed by approximately 73 million people. There, the band's instant popularity established their international stature, and their unprecedented domination of the national sales charts was mirrored in numerous other countries. Their August 1965 concert at New York's <a href="/wiki/Shea_Stadium" title="Shea Stadium">Shea Stadium</a> marked the first time that a large outdoor stadium was used for such a purpose, and with an audience of 55,000, set records for attendance and revenue generation. To protect themselves from their fans, the Beatles typically travelled to these concerts by <a href="/wiki/Armored_car_(valuables)" title="Armored car (valuables)">armoured car</a>. From the end of that year, the band embraced promo clips for their singles to avoid the difficulties of making personal appearances on television programmes. Their December 1965 album <a href="/wiki/Rubber_Soul" title="Rubber Soul">Rubber Soul</a> marked a profound change in the dynamic between fans and artists, as many Beatles fans sought to appreciate the progressive quality in the band's look, lyrics and sound. In 1966, <a href="/wiki/John_Lennon" title="John Lennon">John Lennon</a> controversially remarked that the group had become "<a href="/wiki/More_popular_than_Jesus" title="More popular than Jesus">more popular than Jesus</a>". Soon afterwards, when the Beatles <a href="/wiki/The_Beatles%27_1966_tour_of_Germany,_Japan_and_the_Philippines" title="The Beatles' 1966 tour of Germany, Japan and the Philippines">toured Japan, the Philippines and the US</a>, they were entangled in mob revolt, violence, political backlash and threats of assassination. Frustrated by the restrictions of Beatlemania and unable to hear themselves play above their fans' screams, the group stopped touring and became a studio-only band. Their popularity and influence expanded in various social and political arenas, while Beatlemania continued on a reduced scale from then and into the members' solo careers. Beatlemania surpassed any previous examples of fan worship in its intensity and scope. Initially, the fans were predominantly young adolescent females, sometimes called "<a href="/wiki/Teenybopper" title="Teenybopper">teenyboppers</a>", and their behaviour was scorned by many commentators. By 1965, their fanbase included listeners who traditionally shunned youth-driven pop culture, which helped bridge divisions between <a href="/wiki/Folk_music" title="Folk music">folk</a> and rock enthusiasts. During the 1960s, Beatlemania was the subject of analysis by <a href="/wiki/Psychologist" title="Psychologist">psychologists</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sociology" title="Sociology">sociologists</a>; a 1997 study recognised the phenomenon as an early demonstration of proto-<a href="/wiki/Feminism" title="Feminism">feminist</a> <a href="/wiki/Girl_power" title="Girl power">girl power</a>.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The receptions of subsequent pop acts – particularly <a href="/wiki/Boy_band" title="Boy band">boy bands</a> and <a href="/wiki/Taylor_Swift" title="Taylor Swift">Taylor Swift</a> – have drawn comparisons to Beatlemania. <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r886046785">.mw-parser-output .toclimit-2 .toclevel-1 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-3 .toclevel-2 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-4 .toclevel-3 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-5 .toclevel-4 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-6 .toclevel-5 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-7 .toclevel-6 ul{display:none}</style><div class="toclimit-3"><meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Interpretations_and_precursors">Interpretations and precursors</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Beatlemania&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Interpretations and precursors">edit</a>]</div> In the description of author and musician <a href="/wiki/Bob_Stanley_(musician)" title="Bob Stanley (musician)">Bob Stanley</a>, the band's domestic breakthrough represented a "final liberation" for the nation's teenagers and, by coinciding with the end of <a href="/wiki/Conscription_in_the_United_Kingdom" title="Conscription in the United Kingdom">National Service</a>, the group "effectively signaled the end of World War II in Britain".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStanley201485-1">[1]</a> During the 1840s, fans of Hungarian pianist and composer <a href="/wiki/Franz_Liszt" title="Franz Liszt">Franz Liszt</a> showed a level of fanaticism similar to that of the Beatles.

Academics proposed that the long hair signalled androgyny and thus presented a less threatening version of male sexuality to teenage girls, as well as allowing male fans to view the group in a sexual regard that they normally reserved for young females. Other concerns related to the Beatles' own sexuality; whether the haircuts were a projection of latent homosexuality or confident heterosexuality.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDoggett2015323-5">[5]</a> In their 1986 book Re-making Love: The Feminization of Sex, authors <a href="/wiki/Barbara_Ehrenreich" title="Barbara Ehrenreich">Barbara Ehrenreich</a>, Elizabeth Hess and Gloria Jacobs argued that the band's presentable suits meant that they seemed less "sleazy" than Presley to middle-class whites.<a href="#cite_note-Ehrenreich/Hess/Jacobs-4">[4]</a> In February 1964, <a href="/wiki/Paul_Johnson_(writer)" title="Paul Johnson (writer)">Paul Johnson</a> wrote an article in the <a href="/wiki/New_Statesman" title="New Statesman">New Statesman</a> which stated that the mania was a modern incarnation of <a href="/wiki/Female_hysteria" title="Female hysteria">female hysteria</a> and that the wild fans at the Beatles' concerts were "the least fortunate of their generation, the dull, the idle, the failures".<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> The article became the "most complained-about piece" in the magazine's history.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> A 1966 study published in the <a href="/wiki/British_Journal_of_Clinical_Psychology" title="British Journal of Clinical Psychology">British Journal of Clinical Psychology</a> rejected Johnson's assertion; the researchers found that Beatles fans were not likelier to score higher on <a href="/wiki/Minnesota_Multiphasic_Personality_Inventory" title="Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory">Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory</a>'s hysteria scale, nor were they unusually neurotic.
