*************

Beatlemania is a term that originated during the 1960s to describe the intense fan frenzy directed toward British rock band The Beatles during the early years of their success. The word is similar to the much earlier term Lisztomania, used to describe fan reaction to the concerts of pianist Franz Liszt.

Andi Lothian, a former Scottish music promoter, claims that he coined the term while speaking to a reporter at the Caird Hall Beatles concert that took place as part of The Beatles' Mini-Tour of Scotland, on 7 October 1963,^[1][2] and an early printed use of the word is in The Daily Mirror 15 October 1963^[3] in a news story about the previous day's Beatles concert in Cheltenham. Beatles' publicist Tony Barrow credited the press for the term, but saw the phenomenon as beginning with the band's appearance on the London Palladium TV show on 13 October 1963, at which point he no longer had to contact the press but had the press contacting him instead.^[4] Maureen Lipman reported that after attending a concert in Hull, England that year, she heard that the arena ""cleared away 40 pairs of abandoned knickers"" from fellow young women fans.^[5] In early January 1964, TV talk show host Jack Paar gave Americans their first prime-time glimpse of Beatlemania in the UK by showing clips of their concerts and crazed fans.^[6]

Beatlemania was already evident when the band arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York in February 1964, but became common in the United States after The Beatles performed on several editions of The Ed Sullivan Show the same month; an estimated 73 million people tuned in to their February 9 appearance. Their tour of the U.S. was characterised by intense levels of hysteria and high-pitched screaming by female fans both at concerts and during the band's travels. The extent of Beatlemania in the United States is evidenced by their sales. During the 6½ years between the appearance of the ""I Want to Hold Your Hand"" single on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Let It Be LP, The Beatles had the Number One single in the US for a total of 59 weeks and topped the LP charts for 116 weeks. In other words they had the top-selling single one out of every six weeks, and the top-selling album one out of every three weeks.^[7]

By 1965, the unprecedented demand for the Beatles' live performances led to the birth of stadium rock, which debuted with their summer concert at Shea Stadium.

For the Beatles, the excitement of the mania eventually began to wear off, and by late 1966 they were worn out by constant touring, press attention, and ever-larger concert crowds. George Harrison lamented, ""The more fame we got, the more girls came to see us, everybody making a noise so that nobody could hear us.""^[8] The Beatles had also become major targets of public outcry for the first time when John Lennon's ""More popular than Jesus"" remark spread to the United States. The world experienced its last major Beatlemania event on 29 August 1966 at San Francisco's Candlestick Park. On that evening the foursome performed their last live concert to a crowd of 25,000 at the end of The Beatles' 1966 US Tour. On that night The Beatles retired from touring and live performing.^[9]
