The Philadelphia Eagles fired head coach Chip Kelly on Tuesday, less than one week before the end of the regular season. Lurie’s adopted son, Andy Reid, had to go 12-20 over his final two seasons before the plug was tearfully pulled on him.

The Beatles songs online streaming was initially cancelled from a partnership with Apple because the band was concerned that it may depreciate the value of their songs and may also lead to piracy.

And for all the criticism that Cameron received on Twitter – including from yours truly – LSU amassed 638 yards of total offense. Texas Tech is the choice of 60 percent of money line bettors, with another modest majority of 54 percent anteing up on the over.

The Beatles’ decision to join the streaming services comes at a time when Adele, Taylor Swift, and Coldplay stayed away from free music streaming. Their music wasn’t available on the iTunes Store until 2010, after years of feuding over trademark conflicts.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr accumulated 17 number one singles in the United Kingdom charts as the Beatles.

The band’s tracks will be available on nine different streaming services, including Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and Google Play Music.

So here’s hoping The Beatles make a big enough splash to kick Justin Bieber off the top of Spotify’s global chart. The Beatles are finally releasing their music to the masses.

Nielsen analyst Dave Bakula said that the Beatles’ streaming arrival could help sales by turning people on to the band for the first time.

To celebrate the news, Google offered up a list of the most searched Beatles albums and lyrics.

Swift famously withdrew her entire back catalogue from Spotify in 2014, saying: “Music is art, and art is important and rare”.
