What are you asking exactly? Are you wondering any of the Beatles ever
actually made the statement, or are you asking if the Beatles were in
fact more popular than Jesus, as supposedly claimed?

At the time the comment was made 1966. Was the statement true or
false? Was Jesus more popular or the beatles. I know Jesus had a 2000
year head start. At that time the beatles did have TV, Radio, News
print & word of mouth. Did the beatles get into areas that Jesus had
not been mentioned of yet? Is it possible in all the world they
actually were more popular at that time 1966. Looking for a possible
statistic.

Sorry. I'm not the one who can help you with that.

Here's something interesting:

"On August 14th [1966] London?s newspaper 'Catholic Herald' calls John
Lennon's apology 'arrogant.' However the publication admits Lennon?s
claim is probably true."
