PERFORMED LIVE
Not performed in concert by The Beatles
and
'Come Together' was issued with 'Something' as a double A-side single
soon after the release of the album Abbey Road
Computation of the
Billboard Hot 100 changed while 'Something' and 'Come Together' were on the
chart. Until the alteration they showed separately (both making the top 3), but
when a change in the rules caused both sides' sales and airplay to be combined
(as was always the case with the UK charts) the single jumped to 1. In the UK the
single peaked at number 4
