“Ticket To Ride / Yes It Is” was the ninth UK single from The Beatles.
From Wikipedia:
[“Ticket to Ride“] was released as a single on 9 April 1965 in the United Kingdom and 19 April in the United States with “Yes It Is” as its B-side, topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a week in the US and topping the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in the UK. The American single’s label declared that the song was from the United Artists release Eight Arms to Hold You. This was the original title of the Beatles’ second movie; the title changed to Help! after the single was initially released. The album Help! was released on 6 August in the UK and on 13 August in the US.
The song was the third of six number one singles in a row on the American charts, a record at the time, along with “I Feel Fine“, “Eight Days a Week“, “Help!“, “Yesterday“, and “We Can Work It Out“. When the song hit number 1 in the US, the Beatles became the fourth consecutive English group to hold down the top spot, after Freddie and the Dreamers, Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders, and Herman’s Hermits. Thus, the Beatles broke a combined six-week run at the top for Mancunian groups. In 2004, this song was ranked number 394 on Rolling Stone’s list of “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. […]
