Y'all are wrong
Neither Lennon nor McCartney were Beatlemania. Beatlemania was simply born out of clever, aggressive marketing. It wouldn't have even existed if John Lennon had been a solo artist. It was the Beatles as a single entity, the image of the whole band and all that was associated with it, that was used to create Beatlemania.
If you want to say that the Beatles was merely a vehicle for the greater artistic cause of John Lennon, then fine. You're wrong, but fine.
