Rascal Flatts Help Beatles Get Back to Country

8/13/2007 Stephen L. Betts John Lennon and Paul McCartney are back on the country charts for the first time in 12 years, thanks to Rascal Flatts' cover of "Revolution."  The song debuts at No. 60 on the Hot Country Songs chart this week, almost 39 years after it was originally released as the flip side of the Beatles' "Hey Jude" in August 1968. "Revolution" is the highest-charting Lennon-McCartney song since Rosanne Cash hit No. 1 with "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" in June 1989. Two months earlier than that, Sweethearts of the Rodeo climbed to No. 9 with "I Feel Fine." As songwriters, John and Paul were most recently on the chart in 1995, when Steve Wariner took "Get Back" to No. 72. In 1974, Johnny Rodriguez covered George Harrison's "Something," and took it to No. 6 on the country chart.
