By July 7, 2025Dance

The top selling music artists in history are:

  1. The Beatles
  2. Michael Jackson
  3. Elvis Presley
  4. Elton John
  5. Queen
  6. Madonna
  7. Led Zeppelin
  8. Rihanna
  9. Pink Floyd

Their careers spanned the 1950s to today. Songs by artists now deceased, like Elvis, continue to rack up the sales. This blog thought it only appropriate to select a song from each group appropriate for weddings. Let’s begin with the Beatles.

“And I Love Her”

The Beatle’s Paul McCartney wrote “And I Love Her” when he was but twenty-two. The song is a classic of the young-love genre. There’s nothing sophisticated about the lyric, because it’s all about that beautiful, first blush of love:

“I give her all my love, that’s all I do,

And if you saw my love, you’d love her, too.

I love her.”

Writing credits attribute the song to both Paul McCartney and John Lennon. Lennon claims he wrote the middle section:

“A love like ours, could never die,

As long as I have you near me.”

But McCartney says Lennon only helped out on that section. He talks about what happened the day they recorded the song:

“And I Love Her” has been recorded by a diverse group of singers over the decades, including Harry Connick Jr. who gives it a jazzy flair..
