The cultural impact of the Beatles had many effects on popular music and fashion. While the group was subject to Beatlemania, their commercial success helped spur many trends—including a shift from American artists' global dominance of rock and roll to British acts, the proliferation of young musicians in the 1960s who formed new bands, the album as the dominant form of record consumption over singles, the term "Beatlesque" used to describe similar-sounding artists, and several fashion trends.
