The Beatles have finally made their entire catalog of music available for streaming online. The band made the announcement on their official site, stating in a press release that their music will be available “here, there and everywhere” through all major online services (including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Prime, Deezer and Google Play) starting at 12:01 a.m. local time on December 24. The site also includes an interactive graphic displaying the progress of the sun across the planet, which users can follow along to determine the group’s long-awaited entry into the streaming arena. “Their publishers didn’t want to do anything to damage potential sales of reissues and retrospectives,” an industry analyst told the BBC. “But they’ve waited until the market has got some scale and they could get the best deal. It’s a big PR catch as it helps communicate that the platforms are ‘all the music in the world’ – which is the value proposition of streaming services.” Before this new deal, the Beatles music was only available digitally via MP3 format in iTunes.
