The rankings blow. They seem almost random. But it's fun to listen to quick snippets of all the Beatles tracks to remember how many great songs they released.

I was a big Beatles fan, in the UK, all through the 60s - I thought She Loves You was the greatest thing I'd ever heard when it came out. However, many of these songs were not released as singles in the UK.
All but 5 songs were released on singles. Matchbox, Long Tall Sally, I Call Your Name, and Slow Down were from the 'Long Tall Sally' EP. Bad Boy was released in the US in 1965, and released on 'A Collection of Beatles Oldies' in 1966. 'From Me To You' is missing from the video.

Day tripper is a better single than that should be higher not a big surprise that hey Jude was number one again I expected that no surprise in the number one same old same old. She loves you was high in The ballad of John and Yoko was high that was good.
I think the song titles were put in a Yahtzee cup, shaken, and ranked according to how they poured out. But calling "Long, Long, Long" the second worst song on the White Album is infuriating.
My personal ranking: (keep in mind I like all of them just ranking them in order of the one I like or love the least to the one I love most) 33:you know my name (look up the number) 32: komm gib mer deine hand 31:i call your name 30: yes it is 29: sie liebt dich 28: slow down 27:old brown shoe 26: the innner light 25: thank you girl 24:bad boy 23:she’s a woman 22:rain 21:I’ll get you 20: from me to you 19: I’m down 18: love me do 17: rain 16: long tall sally 15: lady Madonna 14: matchbox 13: the ballad of John and yoko 12: don’t let me down 11: get back 10: let it be 9: across the universe 8: paperback writer 7: revolution 6: this boy 5: day tripper 4: we can work it out 3: I want to hold your hand 2: she loves you 1: hey Jude (Might update it in the future)
I can see how Tomorrow Never Knows is low, I love the track and I know many others do, but there are some people who hate the experimental nature of the song. Don’t Pass Me By at 5 I agree is too high, I love the track and think it’s actually quite underrated, it’s definitely not top 5 since it’s still a very simple track, still a really fun song.
