The Beatles love you, yeah yeah yeah: At long last, the Fab Four's entire catalog of music will be made available on streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, Tidal, and more.
The last remaining holdouts from a time when internet streaming was met with skepticism and suspicion (even AC/DC and Led Zeppelin eventually gave in), surviving Beatles Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney have okayed their 13 original albums and four compilations to go live on streaming services as of 12:01 a.m. on December 24.
However, the Beatles might already be too late to the party. Recent trends set by Taylor Swift and Adele have made pulling music from streaming services the new groovy thing to do.
