The Beatles Quiz!

Yeah probably, but not the official charts. That's why it's not one the "1" album, the music papers are not official.

Maybe the PSBs were alluding to the album ?

' The words "'Please Please Me''s number one" is a reference to the Beatles' first big hit song in the U.K., which coincided with the notorious Profumo Affair of 1963, which the song—as well as the movie, Scandal, for which it was composed—is all about. As one of my site visitors has pointed out, it's possible that the reference is actually to the album of that title (the Beatles' first U.K. album, Please Please Me, also hit #1), but since the album takes its title from the song, it's all the same.
