Because they were cooler.
The Beatles were more popular, as they have sold more albums than Elvis.
Both were very popular singers, but I think Sinatra was a little more popular.
The Beatles. Elvis has 17 number ones and the Beatles have 25, more than any other band
Elvis Presley recorded more than 665 songs and The Beatles have recorded over a little over 214 songs so the king has recorded more than the beatles
This is an opinionated question due to the fact that I believe Elvis is more famous than the Beatles and others believe the exact opposite.
the beatles already are more popular than green day
KISS have sold more albums/records/singles than any other band in the world, including more than the Beatles and Elvis.
I believe Elvis and The Beatles were both pretty even in the amount of fans they had. But The Beatles had four members of the band rather than Elvis, therefore attracting more people of the time since everyone had their "favorite of The Fab Four". Since Elvis and the Beatles were both the beginning of real music, I think it's fair to say history can't record which bands were more popular.
In general, I'd have to say the Beatles are more popular than Stevie Wonder. Of course, Stevie had a much longer career; but the Beatles broke more chart records than Stevie.
John Lennon of the Beatles said that about the Beatles.
The Beatles (265 Million) Elvis (210 Million)
