There are many artists that can’t be found on streaming services, but none more conspicuously so than the Beatles.
At 12:01 a.m. local time on December 24 around the world, the Beatles’ music will be available for streaming from numerous outlets, a representative announced Wednesday. Other services where you can find their beloved hits include Apple Music, Google Play Amazon Prime, Slacker, Tidal, Groove, Rhapsody and Deezer.
Big news… classic albums by The Beatles such as Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band will be released on streaming services. That should cover just about everyone who isn’t still weeping over the demise of Rdio, and Beatles tunes will reportedly be available on both the free and paid tiers of any services where that distinction exists.
Just in time for the holidays, The Beatles finally join streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music.
According to Statistic Brain, the Beatles had sold 2.3 billion albums as of February 2014; 585,000 albums on iTunes; and 2.8 million iTunes singles.
The band’s recordings are controlled by its own management company, Apple Corps, and music conglomerate Universal which took over the catalogue from defunct label EMI.
Streaming music has gained some major additions over the past couple of years, including Metallica and Led Zeppelin.
This year, Taylor Swift made the decision to pull her tracks off of Spotify following the release of her album 1989, while Adele’s record-breaking third LP 25 is still not available to stream.
The Billboard magazine reported last week that Beatles’ music was coming to a streaming service, but did not specify which one.

Their arrival on streaming services comes as consumption on those platforms starts to overtake digital downloads as a source of income for the music industry. “It’s a bit disposal, streaming”, she said during an interview with Time.
