The Beatles experienced huge popularity on the British record charts in early 1963, but record companies in the United States did not immediately follow up the Beatles' successes in the United Kingdom with releases of their own, and even once they began to do so, the Beatles' commercial success in the US continued to be hampered by other obstacles including issues with royalties and public derision toward the "Beatle haircut".
It was nearly a year before a five-minute news story about Beatlemania in the UK, shown on the CBS Evening News on 10 December 1963, led to a teenage girl making an airplay request to a local radio station, which in turn sparked a sequence of events leading to the rush-release of the single I Want to Hold Your Hand and the group's commercial breakthrough.
