Sometimes singles were classified as double-sided. Very often, they were released as an A-side and a B-side, but then reclassified as a double-sider after the event, when it became clear that both songs were popular and were getting airplay. The Beatles had a number of these: Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby, Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever, Hello Goodbye/I Am the Walrus, Ob La Di, Ob La Da/While my Guitar Gently Weeps, and others.
