Beatles for Sale
The album began its 46-week run on the UK charts on 12 December, and a week later displaced "A Hard Day's Night" from the top position. After seven weeks at number 1, "Beatles for Sale" was displaced by the Rolling Stones' "The Rolling Stones No. 2" but it returned to the top on 27 February 1965 for a week. After being again displaced by "The Rolling Stones No. 2", "Beatles for Sale" overtook it for a second time on 1 May, remaining there for another three weeks.&lt;ref name="OCC/Albums"&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; It was then displaced by "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan", which was superseded a week later by "Bringing It All Back Home", Dylan's first "electric" album. From the start of 1965 until mid-May, "Beatles for Sale" remained in the top three chart positions. Eight of the album's tracks were later issued on two four-song EPs: "Beatles for Sale" and "Beatles for Sale No. 2", released in April and June 1965, respectively. In the UK, "Beatles for Sale" was the top-selling album of 1964 and the second-highest seller of 1965.
