The Beach Boys. This is a result of the way music was sold and marketed in the 50s and 60s....albums did not become important until The Beatles and the Beach Boys - along with many other bands in the 60s - set the trend. This also largely reflects the importance of juke box sales in the early years of rock and roll. The Beach Boys are known for releasing singles with hits on both sides - a tactic that increased juke box sales but hurt record sales. Elvis had more hits, yet he is a single artist not a group. The Beatles also had more hits but were not an American band.

Since you specify band, rather than group, the answer is probably Chicago. To include groups , it would be The Supremes

Is Led Zeepelin the most successful rock band ever?

If sales and popularity are the main barometers by which to measure success, the top position clearly belongs to the almighty Beatles. The Fab Four has the most #1 hits, spent the most weeks in the top spot and had the most consecutive #1's. They also had the most Top Ten hits, Top 40 hits and Top 100 hits. At one period they held all top 5 slots on the charts (a record) and had 14 different songs in the top 100 at one time (also a record.)Considering their relatively short life span (approx. 5 years), the Beatles are clearly the most successful band of all time; it's them and then everybody else!
