A Hard Day’s Night was released as a single in the United States by Capitol Records on July 13, 1964, catalogued as Capitol 5222, with ‘I Should Have Known Better’ as the B-side. The single was issued ahead of the film’s American premiere, which was scheduled for August 1964. It entered the Billboard Hot 100 and climbed swiftly to number one, where it remained for two weeks. The song had already been released in the UK on July 10, 1964 as part of the A Hard Day’s Night album rather than as a standalone single.
