Is this from MTV / TMF like i saw Spears-Aguilera before or are you making this up...?
Anyway i think it's kinda normal The Beatles are bigger than U2, they where a real hype... (though that was U2's first name )

This week I saw a video of The Beatles coming in Holland for the first time. Thousands of people were on the airport waiting for them. Whole Amsterdam was celebrating it. People went mad, like we won the World Championship of football. The people where so mad that the concert was stopped after a couple of songs. I will never see that happen with U2 I think

They were so influential. Agree when people say they are the best of all time., when you see how much influence they had.....They're closely followed by The Rolling Stones and U2 Still the last one is my favourite

If I wouldn't be in love with U2, I would accept The Beatles as the biggest band ever. But, as you know, Love Is Blindness...

Except that U2 would still be in Dublin without the influence of the Beatles.
