What was The Beach Boys' first No.1 US hit song?

"I Get Around", a song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for the American rock band The Beach Boys, was released as a single in May 1964. It became the group's first No. 1 hit charting song in the United States. Additionally, in the UK, it came in No. 7 on the charts and became the band's first top ten hit in the United Kingdom. It was included as the opening track on the band's studio album "All Summer Long" in July 1964.

An autobiographical narrative, the song "I Get Around" begins with a multi-part a cappella introduction that quickly shifts into rock-style verses sung by Mike Love and a pop chorus sung in falsetto by Brian Wilson. Brian is also the one who produced and arranged the song.

In other countries (Germany, Netherlands, Canada, and Switzerland), the song also made it to the charts. Respectively, in Germany the single peaked at No. 38 on the Hit Bilanz chart, which was only the band's second single to chart in Germany. The single was the band's first charting single in the Netherlands, charting at No. 38 on the Netherlands singles charts. The single reached the top 10 in both the Canadian and Swedish singles charts, peaking at No. 10 in both countries.
