The band’s remaining members, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, have yet to comment on why they finally decided to make The Beatles’ catalog available to stream.

Popular music band “The Beatles” will see its songs feature across streaming music services starting this Thursday, Christmas Eve, Re/code reported, citing sources familiar with the plans.
A statement from the Beatles publishers said: “Happy Crimble, with love from us to you”.
The Beatles are set to release their back catalogue on streaming sites including Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal for the first time from Christmas Eve, the band’s website said Wednesday.
Deezer, Microsoft Groove, Napster, Amazon Prime Music and Slacker Radio have also been confirmed as host services for the band’s music. “Fans will be capable of stream all 13 remastered studio albums, in addition to 4 noteworthy collections from the best band in trendy historical past”.
There are many artists that can’t be found on streaming services, but none more conspicuously so than the Beatles.
Scandinavian-founded Spotify has more than 40 million users across its paid-for and advert-supported subscriptions.
The Beatles are well known in the music industry to be laggardly adoptees of new distribution methods. Now that would be a Christmas miracle. And other classic rock resisters have come around recently: AC/DC started streaming its music this summer, following Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd in 2013.

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. The services have emerged as a major source of revenue in the years since 2011, when they accounted for about 10 per cent of sales.
