From Wikipedia:

[…] The single reached the top of the British charts on 12 December of that year, displacing the Rolling Stones’ “Little Red Rooster“, and remained there for five weeks.

“I Feel Fine” was also the first Beatles single to be released almost concurrently in the US and the UK. The song has sold 1.41 million copies in the UK.

US Charts

The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 charts for three weeks in late 1964/early 1965. The B-side was the number-four hit “She’s a Woman“.

“I Feel Fine” was the sixth single by the Beatles to hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in a calendar year (1964); an all-time record. In order, these singles were “I Want to Hold Your Hand“, “She Loves You“, “Can’t Buy Me Love“, “Love Me Do“, “A Hard Day’s Night” and “I Feel Fine“. For songwriters Lennon and McCartney, it was the seventh number-one they wrote in the same calendar year (1964), another all-time record.

The song was the first of six Hot 100 number one chart toppers in a row (not counting the EP “4 – by the Beatles“) by one act, also a record at the time. The subsequent singles were “Eight Days a Week“, “Ticket to Ride“, “Help!“, “Yesterday” and “We Can Work It Out“. […]
