The most-searched Beatles albums, per Google Trends, come to nine music-streaming sites beginning December 24.

The full list of supported services includes Apple Music, Google Play, Spotify, Microsoft Groove, Amazon Music, Tidal, Rhapsody, Deezer and Slacker.

This year AC/DC, who had previously refused to make their back catalog available to stream, also changed their mind.

Spotify, the largest service, counts more than 20 million paying subscribers and about 80 million free users worldwide; Apple Music had 6.5 million subscribers and 8.5 million in free trial as of October. 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”.
