Live streams of the Fab Four’s music went live on Amazon Prime, Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, Rhapsody, Google Play, Groove, Tidal and Slacker at 12.01am local time on Christmas Eve.
If you want to listen to the Beatles music streaming for free, you can find the music at places like Spotify with advertisements if you sign up.
An accompanying news release simply said: “Happy Crimble, with love from us to you”.
It’s Been a Hard Day’s Night, but finally, Beatles music is available on your favourite streaming service.
According to the announcement made by Google, the subscribers of Play Music service will have all of The Beatles’ music on their fingertips with effect from Thursday, December 24, 2105. With the complete catalog, the company hopes to come on top again. Rolling Stone says that they hold off from distribution via new technology “until they’re absolutely certain it works for them”.
The news comes at a time when streaming services have taken over digital downloads as the most prominent way to consume music.
The British singer, in a recent interview with Time magazine, said she did not use streaming herself and considered it “a bit disposable”.
Big names who maintain full or partial boycotts of streaming sites include folk rockers Neil Young and Bob Seger, Radiohead’s experimental frontman Thom Yorke and country star Garth Brooks.
