Beatles say ‘let it be’: Fans can soon stream their music

They love us, yeah! yeah! yeah!

The tweet Beatles fans have been awaiting:

“December 24 at 12:01am local time, The Beatles’ music is available for streaming worldwide”

At 12:01 a.m. local time on Dec. 24 around the world, the Beatles’ music will be available for streaming from numerous outlets, a representative announced Wednesday.

Streaming services that will carry the Fab Four’s musical catalog include: Apple Music, Deezer, Google Play, Microsoft Groove, Napster/Rhapsody and Amazon Prime Music, as well as Slacker Radio, Spotify and Tidal.

The 17 Beatles albums span from “With the Beatles” and “A Hard Day’s Night” to “Abbey Road” and “Let It Be,” plus subsequent greatest hits collections.

According to the BBC, the decision could help the Beatles’ legacy further endure.

“In terms of digital the Beatles have always been quite late to the party – they came to iTunes in 2010, which was a good five years after the iTunes Music Store started gaining momentum,” Chris Cooke, co-founder of the music industry news site CMU, told the BBC/

“We had expected they would probably do an exclusive deal to stream their music with one service, but it looks like instead they are going to be pretty much everywhere from day one.

“So, I suppose that is them accepting that streaming is now a very serious, significant part of the record industry.”
