Final answer:
The Beatles' release was influenced by rock 'n' roll's growing prominence among youth culture and its profitability, despite initial hesitation due to cultural resistance.
Step-by-step explanation:
The fact that helped change the minds of executives at Capitol Records to release a single in the U.S. by The Beatles was the growing controversy and profitability of rock 'n' roll, which had come to personify youth culture in the 1950s and 1960s.
While there was some resistance from older generations who saw rock and roll as a threat to American values, the demand by the younger audience could not be ignored.
The Beatles, as a British rock band, offered a more middle-class and suburban version of rebellion that found wide appeal among American youths.
This popularity was fueled by the mass consumption of rock 'n' roll music due to technological advances in recording and distribution, as well as a desire among young people to push back against parental control and find their own identities through music that represented a form of liberation and rebellion.
