Well, the Beatles just had good timing. That's the truth. Sure, they were outstanding songwriters but if Lennon/McCartney would've been born in the 60s and started a band in the 80s, things would've looked VERY differently. Just imagine the Beatles starting out today. I can assure you that they wouldnt make the same impact as in the 60s, nowhere close to it.
So, as somebody already pointed out. A hit, or hit band, also has a lot to do with great timing.
