1971 was the year The Beatles fans kept on buying records released by former members of their favourite band. George Harrison with 'My sweet Lord' was the first ex-Beatle to get to the top of the charts followed closely by Paul McCartney with 'Another day' that was almost as big as the former 'quiet Beatle'.

John Lennon would take 2 of his songs to the top of the most-played-songs in the Brazilian radio waves: 'Mother' earlier in the year and 'Imagine' in December.
