The Beatles released no records in Australia in 1962, so they could not have had a hit there of any kind.
Beatles songs have been released after the break up, however, for example, "Free as a Bird" was recorded in 1994 using an old recording of Lennon (he died in 1980), but none of these reached #1. Several songs from the Beatles last two albums reached the status of #1 hit, such as "Get Back", "Come Together", "Let it Be" and "The Long and Winding Road". The last Beatles hit to retain the #1 position was "The Long and Winding Road" from "Let it Be" (which was one of McCartney's reason for leaving The Beatles, as he was dissatisfied with the producer's addition of a backing orchestra), which reached number 1 on the 13th June 1970.
