Listen To The Beatles On Your Streaming Service Beginning Christmas Eve

Stream the Beatles starting on 12:01 a.m. on December 24, 2015. Swift was insistent that Spotify limit access to her songs to paid subscribers only, and when Spotify refused, she pulled her catalog and lashed out at streaming in general as a “grand experiment”.

A message posted on the official Beatles website (thebeatles.com) announcing the news read: “Listen to the music the minute Christmas Eve arrives”.

The Beatles are the best-selling band of all time, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, with 178 million records sold in the United States alone, and an estimated 1 billion globally.

Christmas has come early for Beatles fans around the globe as they can now officially stream the band’s music from nine sites with a total of 13 albums and four essential collections available.

As part of Google Play’s “welcome party” for the Beatles, you can tell your Google app, “Ok Google, play the Beatles“, and something magical will happen. It is noted that some popular contemporary musicians withhold their new releases from the likes of Spotify but industry commentators see the addition of The Beatles back catalogue to the online streaming canon as a “giant validation of streaming“.

For the first time ever, music lovers can stream the Beatles on Christmas Eve through many services, including Apple Music, Amazon Prime, Microsoft Groove, Rhapsody, Google Play, Spotify, Tidal, Slacker and Deezer.

That should cover pretty much everyone who’s using a music streaming app. If you’ve been holding out on trying one of these services, this might be the push you need.

Despite not appearing on streaming services, Adele‘s “25” is still selling incredibly well, coming in ahead of artists such as Justin Bieber whose works are available to stream.

One can expect The Beatles to be hitting the top 200 Billboard charts by the next year once again with these streaming promotions.

The sector has grown rapidly as sales of CDs has declined.
